Q: What are the weirdest tattoos you have seen in China?

I've seen a weird looking Panda on someone's arm. What's the point of getting a tattoo anyways? I heard it was tribal for some people, some people it was an affiliation with gangs and some people say that whenever they commit a crime they are permitted by the gang to get the tattoo. The tattoo I am referring to is the spider-web tattoo. And I'm sure some tattoo enthusiasts here know exactly what I am talking about. 
Well, what are the weirdest tattoos you have seen in China and did you know what the meaning for those tattoos were? I'm sure some get them out of love usually people get a face of a family member tattooed on their arm. That's common!

The more you "talk", the more you prove your ignorance. 

Tattoos are a very personal form of art to represent a myriad of different things. Others don't have to understand the reason for getting a tattoo, or the meaning of the tattoo. Either appreciate them for the simple beauty of the artwork, or don't.

I do suggest approaching a gang member, point out his tattoo, tell him what you really think, and ask him to show you what it represents Smile This is especially helpful if you ask several members of different gangs. 

PS... the panda in my avatar picture.. is one of my tattoos.

mattaya:

that's cool! I haven't seen much in China actually only the panda tattoo. The weirdest tattoo I could remember seeing is a moose tattoo on someone's shoulder because that was the same picture they were using at hardee's for the moose drink!

I agree that eyelid tattoos are weird. So are tattoos on peoples knuckles. Those are really weird. Why would people get tattoos on their knuckles. One other place a tattoo is weird is on the back of the neck. The weirdest tattoo are grown men with a kid's cartoon tattoo. I saw a teenager in school in China have that sheep cartoon the one with the sheep and the wolves.
