Did I get what I paid for?

From reader "cloverleaf315w":

"I have three characters down my spine, they are supposed to mean 'wild, powerful, and fearless'. Can you tell me that's what I really paid for. I got these done in Tennessee by a local guy everyone goes to. It wasn't my best choice of tattoos I've put on my body, (slightly intoxicated)"

After I done some research, here is what I found:



The top one 野 means "wild", the second one 恐 means "afraid", and the last one 強 means "strength".

"White Wrist" or "Naughtiness"

I am a bit confused about this tattoo. If the characters are translated individually, one means "wrist" and the other means "white". Except, if they are translated as a phrase, in Chinese, it would mean "wrist is white", and "naughtiness" in Japanese.



腕 = wrist (Chinese); arm (Japanese)

白 = white, snowy, empty, blank, bright, clear, plain, pure, gratuitous (Chinese); white (Japanese)

"Crazy Diarrhea"

I am speechless...

Chinese translation:
狂 = crazy
瀉 = to flow out, diarrhea

Japanese translation:
狂 = mania
瀉 = decanting

"Power Piglet"

I have started to verify all characters in two versions (Traditional and Simplified) of Chinese and Japanese, after reader Eden Li's suggestion. Chinese (Hanzi) and Japanese (Kanji) share some characters, except meanings and writings may vary.



Tattoo above still means "power pig" in both Chinese and Japanese.



力 = power, force

豚 = piglet

"Motherly Beast Blessing"

What exactly is "motherly beast blessing"?



The first two characters are terribly done, especially consider the middle character is a badly botched simplification of beast, 獸.



Frankly, I believe my cat could have done better in her litter box while covering up her waste than this pathetic attempt.



母 = mother

獸 = animal, beast

祉 = blessings

"Place" T-shirt

I saw this at a local pizza deli during lunch today. The first character 处 means "place" and the second character is a partial. I don't know if they have any significant meanings in Japanese.



Reader Brendan points out "There's no way that can be anything other than a botched 处女."



Oh by the way, 处女 means "virgin".

"Vegetarian World Excessively"?

素 = raw, simple, pure, or vegetarian （depends on context)

世 = world, era, generation

太 = very, too, excessively



Even if this person would like to proclaim a world or a lifestyle of simplicity or vegetarianism, the tattoo of random characters is way too hard for anyone to understand.
