Alan spotted this photo in BME's Kanji tattoo gallery:
Despite the great calligraphy (calligraphy as in fancy artistic penmanship), there is a huge typo on this person's torso.
Bushido, the way of the warrior in Japanese is written as 武士道, not with 侍 in the middle. 侍 itself means samurai or warrior, but 武侍道 makes no sense in Japanese. Especially considering Bushido is a Japanese concept.
"Bullshitdo", the way of bullshit, would be more fitting.

This is supposed to mean passion. I don't think it does. In fact, i couldn't locate this configuration of radicals at all. What are your thoughts?
It means "hot, middle", which does not mean "passion".
This tattoo also reminded me the terrible hip-hop song by Nelly, Hot in Here.

The bottom character does not exist in Chinese or Japanese vocabulary.
肆 is used as four (banker's anti-fraud numeral)

Can you tell me what these letters are? Supposedly they are the chinese letters m.a.w, intials not a word but I don't believe that's what they are. Thank you very much for your help.
Jeffrey is another sucker of this fake Alphabet-to-Chinese font.
