"Love will tear us apart" is a Joy Division (An English darkwave band) reference. Still, having that tattooed across your chest is....odd. But if you listen to Joy Division, I can completely see you having a tattoo like this.
The 'Jon Bovi' tattoo is from a SNL skit with a band that wanted to be the 'opposite' of Bon Jovi, so they went by Jon Bovi and their lyrics were just trying to make the opposite of every sentence in the Bon Jovi songs. Example: "Your hate is like goooood medicine!" :D
There is over 1.2 Billion Chinese people, I bet if you keep digging you will find even more hilarious ones. I bet there is at least one Chinese person with the word "Potato" on them
Im German and my tattoo artist doesn't speak german. So when I wanted my tattoo to say 'Deine Schuld' (=your fault) after a song, his first stencil said 'Deine Schule' (= your school) :D Of course I noticed immediately and he changed it. So kids, pay attention to your tattoos and speak up ;)
Megan Boulden Spanish or Portuguese would Always use "de" the article or it wouldn't be correct for them. 'Me gusta de vida.' Or something to that effect.
How is nobody talking about the error in the "Life is what you make it" one is that is says Life IT what you make it"! I can't be the only one to see this, right?
Guys, "Love will tear us apart" is actually a reference to Joy Devision's (a very well known late 70's British goth/post punk band) song of the same name...it's not a fail it's lyrics. "Love, Love will tear us apart...again."
It's essentially talking about the writer's (Ian Curtis) experience of love, with him being married but in a band and essentially having an affair on his wife. And how the love he has for a woman is tearing apart the love he has for his wife.
Thank goodness they don't have to worry about punctuating these phrases! Punctuation can change the entire meaning...."Let's eat grandpa." "Let's eat, grandpa." 😂
I feel that several of these were actually intenional style or wording they actually meant. The missing letter on a regret nothing really fits what it says when you actually think about it for example. And the value there could be a real personal reason they have that on them
It isn't wrong though. To say, "make of it" means that it is subject to interpretation. Whereas, "make it" means that you make it what it is, or that you have control of what it is.
The other day I saw my Dad watching one of Mike's videos and I started shouting "HEYY! I KNOW HIM! I WATCH HIM ON TH-cam!" and then proceeded to blabber on about Off the Great Wall for about ten minutes straight to my dad. :P
Thu Ya Win - Thu Ya Win - “Life is what you make it” goes back much farther back than the Miley Cyrus song. Johnny Mathis sang it as did several more before him! It was the Theme song for the Walter Matthau movie, “Kotch”, the lyrics written by Johnny Mercer, & music by Marvin Hamlisch. Probably originate years ago, maybe 1940’s.
For the “too cool for scool” one it’s obviously spelled wrong to seem like a little kid wrote it. A lot of kids spell school that way before they learn how to spell it correctly. I think it was purposefully spelt that way.
I figured out that sometimes words don’t translate well between English and Chinese while working at a Chinese restaurant. I was new and couldn’t find the button for “no ham” in the house fried rice as a customer requested, so I used the “no pork” button instead. The owner yelled st me saying, “there is no pork in the house fried rice already”. I said, “ham IS pork”. He understood and laughed, but for the chefs cooking apparently I was a moron. Lol
"Hing" is another name for asafetida, commonly used in some Indian cooking. So yeah, if you make lime pickle and leave it out, you could regret no hing. "Valor" in Spanish can mean "value" but also "courage." So maybe it's like those Chinese-Google fails. Funniest thing I ever saw was a T-shirt that said "Young Alligators Club." You what?
The problem is most of these people, it's not like they got a tattoo of a language that they didn't speak, but they got it wrong in their first language 😂
Maybe they misspelled school on purpose because they are too cool to attend school therefore they wouldn't know how to spell it because they don't attend.
It is possible that the "Too cool for scool" tat was supposed to be ironic. But of course, you don't want to go through life explaining "Look, I know it's wrong, but that's intentional. It's ironic".
Me and my husband have this cute little phrase we say to each other, "Until the stars cease." I will never get it as a tattoo because I got it engraved on a keychain for him and it was engraved, "Until the stars sease."
Heart tattoo with Mom has probably been around since the 1920's/30's maybe even earlier. Other channels have mentioned in passing funny English t-shirts mistranslated in different countries. Maybe that's another video. These tats were winners! thumbs up!
So fascinating to see this in reverse! Its remarkably easy to misspell words at times, I consider myself a go person for spelling and I spelled cauliflower, cauliflour today and I was convinced it was right until I googled it, and it said, did you mean....cauliflower! Doh!
It's really hilarious when you think of these people who don't have good English get English tattoos and it comes out wrong when people who aren't Chinese or a different language get those without knowing 😂
The "Life is what you make it" could've their favourite book with the same title. Though in general the phrase in "British English" generally means "life is made from what you do with it"
"Value *" is funny. It's like a remark on an advert or catalogue item. Another one is "Ideal!" It's like "I'm a value human being", like a cheaper, lower-quality version of a person. It's cute. :P I've seen a few of your tattoo vids and I think there's often context you're missing, even on some of the Chinese character tattoos.
I often see people tattooed (online) with "No Ragrets" tattooed on them. At this point, I don't know if they're trying to be clever and funny, or if it's a genuine mistake. 😂 If it's for the laughs, I love it. If it's a mistake.. that is terribly unfortunate.
The video background looks very nice! I don't know if you already said this in another video but where can I get backgrounds like the one in this video? Is it free? Thanks!
Maybe the "Regret Nohing" one was PURPOSELY done that way to remind the person how far he/she's willing to go.
Hard Style interesting take on it...
I knew a Chinese guy who had a tattoo of a goat and it said 'dog' underneath...I don't know either
honestly me too
"Love will tear us apart" is a Joy Division (An English darkwave band) reference. Still, having that tattooed across your chest is....odd. But if you listen to Joy Division, I can completely see you having a tattoo like this.
mekkio77 it needed to be said. :)
So many people think that makes no sense in videos like here and it was on a different fail video but it's from the band.. I love Joy Division
Yay somone said it
The 'Jon Bovi' tattoo is from a SNL skit with a band that wanted to be the 'opposite' of Bon Jovi, so they went by Jon Bovi and their lyrics were just trying to make the opposite of every sentence in the Bon Jovi songs. Example: "Your hate is like goooood medicine!" :D
I want to like your comment a million times.
"He ran out of fingers"... LOL
There is over 1.2 Billion Chinese people, I bet if you keep digging you will find even more hilarious ones. I bet there is at least one Chinese person with the word "Potato" on them
OMG its Viet Lee from JKNews
and on every Asian channel
***** ayyyy Simply Kimberlyy
+Viet Lee you comment on every asian youtuber videos xD
you and potatoes are everywhere!
Sweet pee? Maybe she’s diabetic lmao
Wezleigh XD
Thats histerical!
Is that Bear Grylls's?
No....she's into golden showers.
Wezleigh maybe it's a tattoo that trump got in Russia lol
Im German and my tattoo artist doesn't speak german. So when I wanted my tattoo to say 'Deine Schuld' (=your fault) after a song, his first stencil said 'Deine Schule' (= your school) :D
Of course I noticed immediately and he changed it. So kids, pay attention to your tattoos and speak up ;)
Haha, there are so many things like wall decorations or pillows with "Life is what you make it" here in Germany 😂 see that so often!
NO REGRATS
"not even a letter..?"
that was from we're the millers right?
Angel lynn Yep!
It was "NO RAGRETS"
That's my creedo!
I saw a woman from Brazil at the mall once when I worked there and she didn’t speak English well, and her tattoo on her arm said Enjoy Of Life
Megan Boulden Spanish or Portuguese would Always use "de" the article or it wouldn't be correct for them. 'Me gusta de vida.' Or something to that effect.
I bet that "regret nohing" guy regretted that tattoo! X'D
nah he ragritted it
How is nobody talking about the error in the "Life is what you make it" one is that is says Life IT what you make it"! I can't be the only one to see this, right?
The last one should have been
"2 cool 4 skool".
Look that guy up, he has probably
"luv in skool"
and
"skool luv affair"
tattooed somewhere, too.
Dark and wild, dope or danger would actually make great tattoos
And In The Mood For Love
And In The Mood For Love
And In The Mood For Love
And In The Mood For Love pt 1
Maybe the last one was on purpose? Like sarcasm or something :D
Guys, "Love will tear us apart" is actually a reference to Joy Devision's (a very well known late 70's British goth/post punk band) song of the same name...it's not a fail it's lyrics. "Love,

Men like a nice chest . Not flat or full of dumb tattoos . Fact's
310smoker "Fact's" xD
Then he killed himself- making it ICONIC for some! But still a great flippin song!
Thank goodness they don't have to worry about punctuating these phrases! Punctuation can change the entire meaning...."Let's eat grandpa." "Let's eat, grandpa." 😂
"Too cool for scool" could definitely have been done on purpose. Perfectly self-ironic.
“The too cool for scool”...omg, the drawing of that bus tattoo just destroyed me! So funny...great video.
The sad thing is that you could probably find any of these tattoo mistakes in English-speaking countries too.
I feel that several of these were actually intenional style or wording they actually meant. The missing letter on a regret nothing really fits what it says when you actually think about it for example. And the value there could be a real personal reason they have that on them
No Ragrets
Thing is somtimes pronounced 'hing in Scotland. In a sense regret nohing would make sense in Scotland if they put an apostrophie in.
I was just gonna type that
Haha at the end: "one letter makes a big difference, and this is a lessom for us all". I'm not kidding
People do say Life is what you make it though. It might be wrong, but americans say it haha
+張柳芳 Yeah.
It isn't wrong though. To say, "make of it" means that it is subject to interpretation. Whereas, "make it" means that you make it what it is, or that you have control of what it is.
Life is what you make it, is a movie quote
The problem with that tattoo is actually that it says "Life 'IT' what you make it"
Am I the only one who thinks that Mike looks like Jackie Chan? (Don't judge me haha I'm new here)
+Hena Yixing Nope, everybody KNOWS Mike looks like Jackie Chan here XD
+Hena Yixing HAHA no you are not. But hey apparently Dan also looks like an Asian celebrity, wanna guess who that is?
+Off the Great Wall it is jet lee?!?!?
+NeKuFuRu You got it!
+Off the Great Wall ok I'm a bit late haha but yeah +NeKuFuRu is right haha
The other day I saw my Dad watching one of Mike's videos and I started shouting "HEYY! I KNOW HIM! I WATCH HIM ON TH-cam!" and then proceeded to blabber on about Off the Great Wall for about ten minutes straight to my dad. :P
At 4:56 Life is what you make it is a famous Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) song
Am I the only person who noticed that the tattoo also had a spelling mistake? It said "Life iT what you make it" 😂
halohalo86 Yeah I did but the host said it should have been something else.
+halohalo86 Dan said "there's an obvious error, they're tryna say say life is what yo make it but it's still weird."

My mother is my right angle too!! lol
I enjoy these tattoo vids, and other Chinese related vids :D can't wait for more!
For the “too cool for scool” one it’s obviously spelled wrong to seem like a little kid wrote it. A lot of kids spell school that way before they learn how to spell it correctly. I think it was purposefully spelt that way.
Scott Barrett doesn't make it any better lol
Should have used 2 ks, duh.
Invader Zim uses 'SKOOL' all over the cartoon.

My name is Angel and people sometimes spell my name as angle. Even my dad did it one time 😋
Is that your after hours name?
Storr Hoek was that your attempt at being funny?

Too cool for Scooby Doo. Omg, I died. XDD

You what?
The problem is most of these people, it's not like they got a tattoo of a language that they didn't speak, but they got it wrong in their first language 😂
The best part about these videos is that when u get a tattoo u stencil it first and they still didn't catch the mistakes 😂
The "mom" tattoo goes way back to the early 1920s
When they mentioned Bon Jovi I was about to die. I love "Dead or Alive" and "Livin on a Prayer"
+Sabokaye Esoco Never seen that movie, but it sounds good
ILoveMyPuppies017 dont forget other such classics as "you give love a bad name" and "it's my life"
It's called, "Wanted".
God in Reverse - I think you mean 'It's is my life'.
No, it's is short for it is, why would there be a second is?
Exhibit A: th-cam.com/video/vx2u5uUu3DE/w-d-xo.html
I love this! Hilarious! Thanks, guys, for posting this!
Dan makes the greatest facial expressions.
the charisma in this room is vivid
Maybe they misspelled school on purpose because they are too cool to attend school therefore they wouldn't know how to spell it because they don't attend.
hahaha..loved this "its is my life"
It is possible that the "Too cool for scool" tat was supposed to be ironic.
But of course, you don't want to go through life explaining "Look, I know it's wrong, but that's intentional. It's ironic".
And he can turn that scratched school bus into the Mystery Machine! Genius!
Lol I love the one dude is always so optimistic. He's always like "well what if they meant it this way, that kinda makes more sense, right?"
"Regret sweat pee from nohing..." That would be a nice tattoo on the forehead 😂
Thank you for making this! Too funny!
I know another one... "Never don't give up"
Me and my husband have this cute little phrase we say to each other, "Until the stars cease." I will never get it as a tattoo because I got it engraved on a keychain for him and it was engraved, "Until the stars sease."
At least you can replace the key chain.
I was laughing throughout this video
you forgot about
"you only live ones"
Heart tattoo with Mom has probably been around since the 1920's/30's maybe even earlier. Other channels have mentioned in passing funny English t-shirts mistranslated in different countries. Maybe that's another video.
These tats were winners! thumbs up!
The problem with that #8 tattoo is actually that it says "Life 'IT' what you make it" not adding the word 'of'
normally i dont like fail videos but this was awesome
And my Chinese friend grills me for researching my Kanji tattoos, well brother I do my research so I don’t end up on this channel 😂
Dan what happened to your arm, not to be rude or point it out but I was concerned~
Suga
+Elizabeth H (Beth) I'm all right everyone! Just got a few abrasions from hiking in Grand Canyon. Nothing serious.
+Love_ Senpai At first I thought you meant Suga happened to his arm and got really confused about how he could have possibly pissed of Yoongi
+Wookie Dough omfg 👌
+Off the Great Wall that's good to hear, hope it heals up 💗🙆
These and the Chinese ones are so funny. Lol.
"Love will tear us apart" is a song by Joy Division
Ha ha ha I'm in scool guys 🤦🏽♂️
You guys always make me laugh. 😂
The fingers are You R NEXT.. LOL stupid, but correct! Lol
"Love Will Tear Us Apart" is also the title of a song by Joy Division.
So fascinating to see this in reverse! Its remarkably easy to misspell words at times, I consider myself a go person for spelling and I spelled cauliflower, cauliflour today and I was convinced it was right until I googled it, and it said, did you mean....cauliflower! Doh!
now I want to get a tatoo but not letters! haha do not worry friends.
"She had 'love will tear us apart'-"
Me: yo joY DIVISION
The last tattoo though! 😭
I so hoped this would be a video. Thank you!
These guys are awesome hosts!!
Best yet carpie hahahaha
Dan you have a beautiful smile. 🤣
It's really hilarious when you think of these people who don't have good English get English tattoos and it comes out wrong when people who aren't Chinese or a different language get those without knowing 😂
Is it me or the "value" tattoo is deeper than what they think it is.
The "Life is what you make it" could've their favourite book with the same title. Though in general the phrase in "British English" generally means "life is made from what you do with it"
That bus looks like a prison bus lol
Atleast they used the correct “too” lol
I hope you get wealthy. Very funny content. Thank you guys
Did you seriously just say Jon bon Jovi is a country artist?!?! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I love how they got so confused by the “life is what you make it” but it’s really just a Hannah Montana song lyric 😉
You guys are so cool and funny I love your channel and content
5:03 "Life Is What You Make It" is a song from the late 80's to early 90's
"Life is what you make it" is fine, makes sense.
You've got trolled hard with the Jon Bovi tat.
"Value *" is funny. It's like a remark on an advert or catalogue item. Another one is "Ideal!" It's like "I'm a value human being", like a cheaper, lower-quality version of a person. It's cute. :P I've seen a few of your tattoo vids and I think there's often context you're missing, even on some of the Chinese character tattoos.
That 'Jon Bovi' tattoo looks like it should come with a disclaimer that reads 'my arm was butchered by a scratcher'.
But "love will tear us apart" is a popular song 😅
Life's what you make it and love will tear us apart clearly neither of you have heard of Talk Talk or Joy Division?!
Who got reminded of the album by bangtan 2 cool 4 skool when they mentioned the tattoo???!?! Any ARMY's here?
YASSS ARMY AND EXO L
YESSSS
Army right here
Yeah over here ^.^
Haha, I can totally relate. XD
5:10 - that face ! xDDD
The guy on the right looks like a young Jackie Chan.😊
Life is what you make it. That's a phrase I've heard many times before
"Hard Work Never Killed Nobody, But I Ain't Taking Any Chances."
I often see people tattooed (online) with "No Ragrets" tattooed on them. At this point, I don't know if they're trying to be clever and funny, or if it's a genuine mistake. 😂 If it's for the laughs, I love it. If it's a mistake.. that is terribly unfortunate.
This reminds me of the tattooing Snickers commercial
No Regerts
It's supposed to be
No Regrets
The video background looks very nice! I don't know if you already said this in another video but where can I get backgrounds like the one in this video? Is it free? Thanks!
"too cool for scool" that's why he misspelled it
I wonder how many of these were done on purpose by the artist🤣 , English and Chinese.
"Life is what you make it" is a common saying :O
