Japanese kanji tattoos can look cool, but they do not always mean what people think they mean. A Japanese girl reacts to a series of real tattoo examples and explains the meanings in a funny, honest way, from “kitchen” and “ouch” to “me,” “tomato,” and other unexpected kanji choices.

She also points out tattoos that look beautiful but have awkward or confusing meanings, including a famous Ariana Grande example that was corrected after Japanese speakers noticed the mistake. Along the way, she reminds viewers to check the meaning before getting a Japanese tattoo, since kanji can be misleading if you do not understand the context.

This is a light, educational reaction video about Japanese language, kanji meanings, tattoo mistakes, and cultural misunderstandings. It is useful for anyone interested in learning Japanese, avoiding bad tattoo translations, or simply enjoying a funny commentary on Japanese tattoo design.

00:04Hi everyone in the world!
00:07Yahoo! Minna! Mochi Sensei desu!
00:10Today's topic is about tattoos.
00:13Do you have any tattoos in Japanese?
00:15I see many people have Japanese tattoos
00:19and the word is kind of weird.
00:23I want to see a few pictures with you guys
00:26and explain the meaning of tattoo.
00:31So let's get started!
00:33Hajimeyo!
00:35Okay, the first tattoo is this one.
00:40Oh no!
00:42It says, do you know this meaning in Japanese?
00:45Well, this means kitchen.
00:49And I wonder why he wants to get this tattoo.
00:54This is very weird. You have big tattoos that say kitchen here.
00:59Oh no!
01:02I feel sorry for him because I think he didn't know the meanings, right?
01:06You guys, before you get any Japanese tattoos,
01:11ask me about the meaning, please.
01:16Okay, so the next one.
01:19Man, this is kind of cute.
01:21Itai!
01:22Itai!
01:23This whole tattoo says itai.
01:25And it means,
01:28hurts!
01:29It hurts!
01:30Like, ouch!
01:31Itai!
01:32Maybe this is the feeling when he gets this tattoo?
01:37I don't know.
01:38Next one!
01:39Wow!
01:41This is also a big tattoo.
01:45It says,
01:46BOU.
01:47This kanji is like, kind of messed up.
01:50Well, it's correct.
01:52But it looks like kids handwriting.
01:55I mean, this is not beautiful kanji.
02:00And the meaning of this kanji is stick.
02:04Stick.
02:05Like, ice cream stick.
02:07BOU.
02:07I don't know why.
02:09Why he did this.
02:12Alright.
02:13Next one.
02:15This one looks pretty beautiful kanji, right?
02:19But the meaning is,
02:21well, it says irezumi in kanji.
02:25And the meaning of irezumi is tattoo.
02:28So, this means like, he has a tattoo,
02:33which says tattoo in his leg.
02:36We know that.
02:38Maybe he really likes this kanji.
02:42Maybe.
02:43And the next one.
02:45Wow.
02:46Okay.
02:47This one.
02:48It says,
02:50Kubota.
02:51Kubota.
02:52Kubota-san.
02:54It's a Japanese last name.
02:57Maybe his last name is Kubota.
02:59But I don't think so.
03:01Who will get really big tattoo of Kizo?
03:05Her last name.
03:07Oh no!
03:09Ketsu wo taberu.
03:10I don't think you guys want to know this meaning.
03:13The meaning of this is,
03:15eat as.
03:18Eat a butt?
03:21Ketsu wo taberu.
03:23How to translate in English?
03:26Go eat your ass or something?
03:29I don't know.
03:30Next one.
03:31This one's cute.
03:34Maybe she or he really really like this food.
03:39It says,
03:40Tomato.
03:41Tomato.
03:43And the last one.
03:44This is really a famous tattoo.
03:47The one Ariana Grande gets.
03:50She already fixed her tattoo.
03:53But at the first, it says,
03:57Shichirin.
03:57She wanted to get a tattoo.
04:00It says,
04:01Seven Rings.
04:02Which is her song.
04:04But Shichirin means grill.
04:07Grill for like, barbecue.
04:10If we separate this kanji,
04:12Shichi means seven.
04:14Ri means rings.
04:16Circle ring.
04:18So if we separate this,
04:21it actually means seven rings.
04:25But if we put this kanji together,
04:29this means grill for barbecue.
04:32She got so many comments about this from Japanese.
04:37Ariana, no! That means grill.
04:39So she fixed it to seven rings.
04:44Rings for fingers in Japanese is Yubiwa.
04:48Oh, how was it?
04:49Please be careful when you get a tattoo of Japanese.
04:54Please make sure to search the meaning of that kanji.
04:59I know kanji looks really cool.
05:02And many people get the tattoo of kanji.
05:05But please.
05:06Because sometimes the meaning is like really bad or funny.
