Tony Halme's Neck Tattoo
Reader "Jan I." has sent in this undated photo of Tony Halme's neck tattoo. It is a part of a two word tattoo, unfortunatelly the rest of the tattoo is hidden under a collar. According to the owner of the tattoo (Tony Halme; an ex-boxer/wrestler, now a Finnish politician) it stands for "White Samurai".
White Samurai should be written as 白人の武士.
If anyone has a better photo of Tony Halme's neck tattoo, please feel free to sent it to me. In the mean time, the character shown means "evil" or "wickedness".
悪 = evil, wickedness

Evil/Wickedness suits him much better anyway. ;))
Actually, it looks like there is a hiragana "i" next to 「悪」, making "warui" 悪い the top half of the tattoo.
If White Samurai is a literal translation, the source characters could be 白侍 as 侍 is literally "samurai".
I've seen a picture of the full tattoo (sorry, don't have it at hand) and the second character was (or at least attempted to look like) 侍. The article the picture was attached to said it meant "evil samurai", however.
Though, as far as I know, couldn't 悪い侍 also mean 'bad samurai', as in 'not a very good samurai'?
Not very good japanese, in any case.
he's a thick, racist, narrow-minded man so that does indeed suit him perfectly. it shows off his superior stupidity.
