Ananova:

A teenager who had "mum" tattooed on her back in Chinese letters was horrified to find it really said: "Friend from hell."

The Daily Mirror reports that Charlene Williams, 19, only found out something was wrong when a passing Chinese woman shouted: "Evil, evil, very bad."

Charlene said: "I was shocked and angry. Dad joked it said chicken chow mein. It was worse than that."

She paid £10 for the tattoo four years ago in Poole, Dorset. The tattooist did not know letters change meaning when put together.

Charlene has now covered the insult with a leaf design tattoo costing £40.
