I found this website, detailing all the funny Engrish that is perpetrated by the Japanese and such.

Damn you, you made me go back to that site.  Now my eyes are watering and my stomach hurts. 

I hope you're happy.

Hi, I'm called David Lopez.

I'm from Barcelona and I would like to know that it means a tattoo that I did to myself years ago.
I believe that it is Chinese and though I did it for aesthetics, now I am afraid of taking a meaning that I don't want.

My girlfriend and I would have a lot of interest to know the real meaning of my tattoo.

Thank you very much in advance. You will be of great help!

David

Meaning:
賈 means "buy/trade", 路 means "road, path", 卡 means "card".

賈路卡 sounds like a type of prepaid card that allows its owner to access public transportation.

Ah yes, I've had a few good laughs over that site.
And Ampersand, I've heard that happens a lot with the trendy asian lettering tats. People always think they're getting Dragon or Wind or something but the tattoo artist just chooses the coolest looking characters and it spells...something random.
Reminds me of this shirt, except the shirt is doing it right.

I don't need a site. I'm teaching in Korea. Everyday day is Engrish day!

First ten minutes of play I ate my loincloth and then got some limbs torn off by a super friendly rat. Thumbs up from me.
