But that's not even the best part! The best part is when you get to "unintentionally" show off your tattoo to others!

Sure, there have been some really great tattoos on people, like Rihanna's Egyptian Goddess Isis, Dwayne Johnson's bull tattoo, and Mike Tyson's face tattoo, among others. However, these tattoos are quite graphic.

When it comes to foreign language tattoos, we have Angelina Jolie with a Khmer script on her back, Nicki Minaj with a blessing in Chinese on her arm, and Adam Levine with a Sanskrit script on his chest, among others.

When you opt for a foreign language tattoo, it's extremely important to choose the best tattoo artist and ensure you get exactly what you have in mind. This means you should be able to explain your tattoo idea in detail so your tattoo artist knows you mean business.

You can't just walk into a tattoo artist's booth and request to be inked without clearly detailing what you mean. These 30 people did just that, and the results are hilarious!

So now I'm sure you understand the importance of clearly detailing your dream tattoo when you visit a tattoo artist. Sure, you're all over the place when it's happening, but it's good practice to go prepared.

The last thing you want is to have a foreign tattoo you can't read, that's misspelled, and means something entirely different!

When it comes to tattoos, go prepared!
