Just don't mess with languages you don't know

A man who has proudly showed off his tattoo for 26 years was baffled to realise it actually spelt Coca-Cola.

Vince Mattingley had his named tattooed on his chest in Chinese writing after asking staff at his favourite restaurant to write his name in Chinese symbols.

But a waiter drew the Coke words - and Vince had it etched on his chest.

Vince only realised the mistake when he recently travelled to Thailand and a barman asked him why he had Coca-Cola written on his chest, reports The Sun.

Vince, of Watford, said: "I thought it was a joke then I found out that's what it said. The restaurant staff must have had a good laugh about it."

He now plans to get another Oriental tattoo to cover up the name. He added: "I'm going to go with something Japanese this time."

A teenager who had "mum" tattooed on her back in Chinese letters was horrified to find it really said: "Friend from hell."

The Daily Mirror reports that Charlene Williams, 19, only found out something was wrong when a passing Chinese woman shouted: "Evil, evil, very bad."

Charlene said: "I was shocked and angry. Dad joked it said chicken chow mein. It was worse than that."

She paid £10 for the tattoo four years ago in Poole, Dorset. The tattooist did not know letters change meaning when put together.

Charlene has now covered the insult with a leaf design tattoo costing £40.
