Man's £800 Japanese tattoo meant nothing when artist made 'spelling mistake'

A man who spent £800 to have the Samurai bushido code tattooed onto his arm in Japanese was left with something completely meaningless when the tattoo artist missed out a line and got the spelling wrong.

Chris opted for a Samurai tattoo because he "loves samurais and the code they lived by", especially the seven virtues of bushido - Integrity, Respect, Heroic Courage, Honour, Compassion, Honesty & Sincerity, Duty & Loyalty.

Within his Samurai tattoo, Chris wanted to take the keywords ‘gardener and warrior’ from the Japanese quote: "It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war", as he couldn’t fit the whole quote.
