    Personally im not much for Tattoos,but as many people do have there 'name' or no worries be happy/ "mai pen rai"type of thing, where there from,'football team' its up to them.

    A Thai girl i know has a tattoo in English, "Life like a bitch then you die" now she understands it, what more can you say about another persons tattoos,right or wrong, its up to them as they don't come off! back to 'mai pen rai' its used to covers so many situations in Thai, i would not find this a laughable tattoo?

    Everyone of us have different understanding of 'mai pen rai'. Knowing that it means 'no worries', really, it would cover up situations. I said that it might make me laugh because it is a very common term, since tattoos get more appeal if at least, you'll have an appealing wording, not common, on your skin. It makes me think that "How about if you have just got a better phrase than that?"
