When teenager Joanne Raine had her boyfriend's nickname "Roo" tattooed on her stomach it was supposed to be a sign of her undying love.

That was until she showed it off in a Chinese takeaway and found out it actually spelled "supermarket."

The pair have now split up, but Miss Raine said she will keep the tattoo because she cannot afford a new one


Ahahahahahahahaha

says he had one done aswell...

they must have given him the 'sweep'

I doubt she'd ever have a problem getting a job with a supermarket?

Interviewer: " Why do you think you're the right person for the job? "

Miss Raine: " Well first of all, I'm so dedicated and enthusiastic about the job I got this tattoo done.... it says 'Supermarket'. "

Interviewer: " Say no more, you've got the job. "

Apparently it doesn't mean 'supermarket' at all.

Scroll down.

Nevertheless, this sort of stuff happens all the time. Be sure and go to China and get it done there [then they'll just write something like "stupid foreigner" on your back, which apparently has happened].

Personally, I think having a ridiculous word tattooed would be cool.

The story's from December, don't know why we didn't see it before now!

She deserves that for being stupid enough to get someones name tattooed on her in the first place.

 

[Squark]

So if it's not supermarket then what does it mean?

Yeah it does not actually mean supermarket. It doesn't make much sense

 

[Syph]

Doesn't have to say anything, particularly.
