This is my favourite. 痔 means haemorrhoid. Presumably it was meant to say 侍, samurai.

Why would you presume that? Maybe they’re suffering and trying to raise awareness.
Maybe he's a 痔 侍, haemorrhoid samurai, bringing awareness and defending those with inflamed bottoms

I mean we can probably all visualize the person who had that tattoo and "foreign pervert" probably fits them perfectly.
straightens fedora; leans on sheathed katana like a cane, from underneath a long trenchcoat
AKSHUALLY…
To be fair, those kind of mean the same thing
And honestly a pretty hillarious phrase to tattoo when some white foreigner rolls up asking for a "Lover of Asian Beauty" tattoo.
Where I live, we get a number of used vehicles imported from Japan, and for a while it was trendy to have English slogans on vehicles.
They frequently made little sense, I imagine our ones look the same to them.
You wouldn't happen to remember any would you? For some reason I love those "Why is a mouse when it spins? The higher the fewer." type things.
I have just the site for you:
I was having difficulty understanding my Chinese boss one day, and after the third time I asked in total confusion, "What?" He looked at me and asked, "Why you not understand me, am I no speaking English?" I cracked us both up with my reply of, "No, you're clearly speaking Chinglish!"
Her: I am struggling with two words.
Me: Ok.
Her: Fuck and fuck.
Me: umm
Her: the first one is like a thing for eating a meal.
Me: Oh! Ok "fork" is what you eat with and "fuck" is what you do in private or yell when something goes wrong.
Her: Say it again.
(Multiple minutes later of me saying fork and fuck)
Her: So I eat with a for-K and f-U-ck in private.
Me: You got it, now go and fork yourself.
(Me getting hit with a pillow multiple times while laughing)

Not really related, but a couple of years ago in my home country, a Western bloke was actually pictured on the internet wearing a shirt that said something like "白人很笨" (white people are stupid).
Some of us buy those ironically though. I had a shirt that said (and I unfortunately cannot put it in kana/Kanji atm) something very close to, in full kana and kanji: "I am a stupid American. I'll buy anything."
I knee fully what it meant because the sentence was pretty easy, but I still wanted to travel to Japan wearing it.
Kinda want to get one in english now.

There's a great website documenting this. I'm surprised no one has linked to it.
https://hanzismatter.blogspot.com/
Example:
Ariana Grande's new tattoo, 七輪.
She wanted it to promote and celebrate her latest single, 7 Rings.
Instead it is referencing to a type of Japanese charcoal cooking grill.
This one is great because those are literally the characters for "7" and "ring" but if you put them next to each other they mean "portable charcoal grill". Luckily it was an easy fix. An additional character was added and it now reads "7 rings" as intended.
It's kinda still messed up, even with the additional characters because you read right to left with vertical writing, and technically it should have a つ after the 7.
I have a friend that has Thai writing tattooed on his leg that translates to "I love chicken soup."
I think when he was drunk he went into a tattoo parlor thinking it was a restaurant.

I've seen a few Sanskrit ones. Nothing drastic in real life, thankfully. I find the Chinese ones much more hilarious.
Had a friend in college legit get ancient Chinese calligraphy. Absolutely beautiful. But my international center buddy told me separately it just meant window. It was supposed to be this heavenly view or some such thing. No. It was window.
Why not? I got Vete a la Mierda tattooed on my arm when I was young and still learning Spanish. Occasionally, I've had the great opportunity to pull my sleeve up.
What does that mean
"Fuck off"
Literally "Go to the shit"
It means “Fuck You” and maybe some other things depending on context.
A French women got an English tattoo. The two sentences were full of your/you're and it's/its mistakes.
That's typically more of a native speaker error, but I guess it could happen.

I saw a pic that supposedly said "egg fried rice". I wouldn't even be mad
A friend of mine wanted a tattoo in french, she speaks it but not fluently, I found a quote for her that she loved, she transcribed it to paper to bring it to the tattoo artist... I think she transcribed it from memory because she made a mistake in the text and I never had the heart to tell her (small word missing or something like that)... And it's a very long quote in a straight line on her vertebral column, so it's not easy to hide if she wears something more revealing...
When I was a kid I remember a clothing store getting in trouble because it was selling underpants with an artistic Arabic lettering design. They hadn't checked what it said, but it turned out to say "There is no god but God and Mohammed is his prophet." Having this on underpants didn't please anyone.
