Tattoo

There is supposedly at least one tattoo studio in the continental US which has, in amongst all the stock designs on the walls, the Chinese for "I'm so stupid that I don't know what this means."
The person who mentioned this was American-Chinese, and asked the tattooist why this was up on the wall. The tattooist replied that it was there to catch idiots who just picked designs
which they thought looked cool - and that if someone was stupid enough to get a phrase which they didn't understand tattooed on their body, he'd do it.
Apparently he'd already put the design on several people, too - if they'd have asked him what it meant, he'd have told them.
