(Stolen from The BBC)

When teenager Joanne Raine had her boyfriend's nickname "Roo" tattooed on her stomach it was supposed to be a sign of her undying love.

The 19-year-old from Darlington paid £80 for the Chinese artwork in 2004 and was delighted with the results.

That was until she showed it off in a Chinese takeaway and found out it actually spelled "supermarket."

The pair have now split up, but Miss Raine said she will keep the tattoo because she cannot afford a new one. ..

She said: "I did it because I wanted to show him how much I loved him and he had one done as well.

"I did not think about whether it meant forever. I'm just going to have to keep it as I can't afford to get another one done."

	maryJane	when i went in to have my tattoo done, i noticed on the design wall that there were a few mislabeled chinese//japanese characters. i told the employees and they just stared at me like i was an alien... but. i think having "supermarket" on your stomach is kinda hillarious.

	Christopher Nosnibor	There wasa girl at the office I used to work in who had her boyfriend's name tattood on her back. Well, so she thought. But his name was mark, and there were 4 Chinese characters on her back, so the chances it actualy said mark are, I suspect, slender. There's probably much scope for amusement at the expense of dumbasses getting tattoos like this done... 'gay' or 'cunt' is Polish or something could be quite mirthsome... oh yeah, she and mark split up a few months later. He look like the FA cup, though, ugly bastard.

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I reckon there's thousnads of people walking around with peculiar and insulting words on thier bodies. Words that they believe to spell 'Hope' or 'I LOve You Terry'... In fact, it's probably an epidemic that will (unless these folk get it on with a chinese/vietnamese/thai) remain largely unknown...

	KvKvG	people never learn do they... i watched a news report of a yorkshire man who had the address and phone number of his favorite fish and chip shop tatooed on his forhead. he apparently even has a contract which alows him free fish and chips for life (or untill they go bust) and my uncle, who i havent seen for 10 years had this vulgar tatoo. it consisted of a peroxide blonde lady inserting a very large knife into her ladybits. the tatoo artist even painted a little trickle of blood going down the blade. it was done in like 1982. anyways: around 1993, to celebrate the 25th aniversary of his marrage. he decided to have his wifes name tatooed...Right under the knife!!! he didnt even think about the unfortunate postioning untill she filed for a divorce. i wish i could tell you that that story was an unrban legend, but it aint. its jsut my fucking family!

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Tatoo's are one of those things I just don't get and I am one of the few remaining humans without one... I mean, what's it all about???

	KvKvG	i dont have a tatoo, but i love them when they are done right. i think the secret is designing them yourself. i had a friend who had a lovly tatoo of a dragon chasing its tail around her bellybutton, she designed it herself and it was amazing, the only problem being that she was obese and her strech marks damaged the ink...poor lamb. i remember a time when these celtic designs were really rare, and now they are just generic. david beckham has an eye for a good tatoo, his angel on his back is pretty amazing...but yeah, most look shit.

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I think Beckham took on one or two too many to be honest... I mean sure, one or two can look good, and for a long time I was seriously thinking of having this image of Geronimo done on my chest... But it's one of the many things that's never gotten done...

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Well, I've not ruled it out yet... Any man who gets shot 54 (or however the fuck many) times and still still lives to be 80 something and die of hypothermia apparently caused by falling off his horse drunk, is my kinda guy....
