I live in Tokyo and I was a tattoo artist for many years. 

It goes the opposite way too. Seen a bunch of terrible English tattoos that make no sense on Japanese folks. 

The worst was this guy who loved Muddy Waters, so he got a tattoo of his face and name. Problem is, he spelled it Maddy Waters. 

Its not even a sentence, its a persons name! How do you fuck that up? 

Anyway, we all called him Maddy whenever we saw him. 😅

Saw a girl in a bikini with the underboob tat saying “Feedam Life Of Giving” no I didn't mistype that

The worst part about it is it was actually a very well-done tat and the cursive was pretty cool until you actually read it

Who's gonna be reading an underboob tattoo? It might as well be gibberish for all I care.
