My last girlfriend [Jesus that was a long time ago...] had several 
tattoes on various parts of her body. [I paid for one of them!] For 
example, she had a couple of characters tattoed to the back of her leg 
which evidently mean "hard and strong".

But that's the part that gets me thinking... how do *we* know that's 
what it means? I mean, the *shop* says that's what it means. But for all 
we know, maybe she's actually walking around with "I am a dork" tattoed 
to her leg? [Which, actually, would be kinda appropriate in her case...]

Just a thought. ;-)
