A man who loves all things to do with Samurais chose to get his very own Samurai tattoo - only to learn afterward that it was spelled incorrectly and had no actual meaning. Tattoo lover Chris is said to love "samurais and the code they lived by", and knew exactly what he wanted when he sat down in the tattooist's chair.
Samurai warriors lived their lives according to seven guiding principles known as Bushido: integrity, respect, heroic courage, honour, compassion, honesty and sincerity, and duty and loyalty.
When it came to choosing his £800 ink, Chris, from London, wanted to draw from the Japanese quote, 'It's better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war'. He wouldn't have been able to fit the quote in its entirety on his arm, so decided instead to just use the words 'gardener and warrior'. Unfortunately, the artwork didn't end up quite as he hoped.
