    I have received many emails about some idiot posting this photo in BME's tattoo gallery (Feb. 24, 2009):

    The caption says:

    Samurai
    While spending some time in Japan, I was lucky enough to get the kanji for "Dragon soul" tattooed on my arm at a studio in Tokyo. The artist helped me translate the phrase into kanji.
    (Tokyo, JP)

    Hmm.... but does he really think it means "Samurai" or "Dragon soul"? The story is a bit inconsistent. Or does he really know his tattoo 外人 really means "foreigner" and is he just yanking our chains?

    Anyway, it's funny either way.
