WOW! I can't even figure out what the first line is supposed to say.

I'm guessing it was meant to be "where there is will, there is a road," but it looks like "there were is mill, there is a road" to me. She should've stuck with "Where there's a will, there's a way!" I'd say.

Here's what it says in her self-designed tattoo

It is quite obvious that her skills in english are, to put it politely, somewhat lacking :rolleyes:

See, with my luck, my fears will come true and my tattoo artists will write in chinese calligraphy, "I'm a stupid white chick - kill my *** now!" instead of "Courage to love, courage to kill."

Hard to empathize, really.

hmm. Adding a bright shiney belly button post to bring your attention right there probably wasn't the best idea either...:rolleyes:
