40 Hilariously Unfortunate English T-Shirts People In Asia Were Fooled Into Wearing

Have you ever come across someone with a tattoo in a foreign language that they might have mistranslated? It’s a common occurrence, and it seems to happen everywhere. According to the Bad Translations subreddit, even t-shirt designs from East Asia sometimes end up saying something completely different from their intended message in Englinsh. The good news is that t-shirts can be easily changed, unlike permanent tattoos. Nonetheless, the people at Bad Translations found great amusement in these translation fails, and we couldn’t help but join in on the laughter.
