Tennessee Girl Mistakenly Gets Tattoo of Jeremy Lin's Name in Chinese, Decides to Be His Biggest Fan

Cross-posted from Dat Winning.



All this poor young woman from Tennessee wanted was a tattoo of a Chinese phrase on her ankle to celebrate her love of languages and travel. So she asked someone on the internet to translate a phrase for her. And, of course as the laws of the internet decree, she got trolled. Somebody tricked her into getting NBA star Jeremy Lin's name in Chinese permanently etched on her skin.

"Always check your sources," is now something Holland Christensen will never forget. So according to the video above, she reached a crossroads. She could kill herself forever for making such a foolish mistake, or embrace it. She chose the latter.

Holland didn't even know who Jeremy Lin was, but she did her research, as thoroughly as she probably should have checked the tattoo, and quickly became Lin's biggest fan.

Holy crap, look at this guy's amazing Miyazaki sleeve tattoo

One fan's gorgeous tattoo tribute to the master animation auteur.



I thought I was a Hayao Miyazaki fan. Nope. This guy is a Miyazaki superfan. Jean-Pierre Saint-Tran's incredible sleeve tattoo, shared on Instagram, is one hell of a tribute to the revered Japanese director's most iconic animated films, including My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away and more.

Friggin' gorgeous.

Badass Bruce tattoo packs a punch

Now that's what I call a 'fist of fury'



Saw this posted on the official Bruce Lee Facebook page, and of course, come on, how could I not share it? Don't know if it puts any extra power in your one-inch punch. (But I'd like to imagine that it does.)

Please tell me that is a real tattoo.

Your awesome Asian character tattoo? This is what it kind of looks like from the other side.



Saw this item perched pretty on the top of Reddit, which is kind of like the front of the internet... I think it's pretty self-explanatory: IT'S HAPPENED. Chinese person with a random English word as a tattoo.

There's a decent chance that this is fake. Heck, it could be a Sharpie job. But man, I hope it's real.

If you've been thinking about getting one of those totally awesome tattoo of a Chinese or Japanese or Oriental or whatever character, do the math, throw in a little bit of common sense and consider for a moment that this is what your totally awesome Asian tattoo might look like on the other side of the equation.

If you've already got a tattoo like this... um, yeah. Good luck with that.
