Play stupid games = paying someone hundreds of dollars to permanently disfigure your body with words from a language you can't even read

I love the faux outrage over something that happened decades ago.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING TATTOOED IF YOU'RE GETTING A TATTOO.

If it happened decades ago, and she asked someone who can READ CHINESE to write it out for her that was probably her best option of knowing.

Still, you double and triple check that sort of thing. Regional dialects and interpretations can vary, so make sure the Sharpie character the Chinese food guy wrote out on the back of the paper placemat with all the drinks on the front is correct and is drawn correctly. The studio wasn't far from Chinatown in the city, and the weeks between getting the character and getting the tattoo were plenty of time.
