There have been cases where tattoo artists have been caught writing offensive or silly slogans, inaccurately-translated characters, or pseudo-Chinese gibberish on clients who are unaware of the meaning of the Chinese characters. Examples Chinese character (in addition to Japanese kana) tattoos are commonly found on mixed martial artists who are familiar with Asian martial arts. Chuck Liddell, a former UFC champion, tattooed his scalp to read Koei-Kan or "house of happiness and prosperity", the style of karate he trained in. Georges St. Pierre, another UFC champion as well as a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and karate, has the kanji word for "jujutsu" on his chest. Jeff Monson has the characters for "Hero" on his upper back. See Also
