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.

subject: Hi

I’m curious about my tattoo I got wen I was a teenager. I was under the impression that it meant prosperity and of course I never thought to double check. Funny thing is I was out to dinner and a server brought up the mention that it looked to be about a boat. Now I would rly like to know what if anything it means. I hope you can help I cannot find anything anywhere.

Thought you might enjoy seeing a "discussion" about a hanzi tattoo that took place on twitter. I was trying to figure out the mechanics and ethics of sending a picture of the impromptu tattoo so I could get the joke, too when I found out it had already been done.

Really enjoy your blog, and when I wait on guys with big, fat tattoos that are candidates, I tell them about it. And write out the address, lol. Wouldn't want them to miss out on the fun...

I don’t have the heart to tell the woman next to me on my flight that her tattoo in Chinese and Japanese says “miso”

Unless she just really likes miso soup

Hi Tian,

I have followed your blog Hanzi Smatter for a while and I thought you might like to know that it was featured about halfway through the October 26th episode of Jeopardy. Congratulations!

PS: I did cringe a little bit at Alex Trebek's pronunciation. It can't be helped, though.

Spotted on Chris Cantwell. As an American appalled by him and his, I'm dying to know what this really says.

Thanks so much.
