Tattoos in foreign languages

[BIG H]

Am i the only person that doesn't understand the point of it?
Woman at work was telling me her son has got his son's name tattoed on his arm in Japanese. My reaction was partridge like facial reaction followed by 'why didn't he just get in English?'
Fair enough question i thought. I'm only 23, it's not like i'm out of touch with the 'modern world' but fuck me sideways it has to be the dumbest, fakest thing in the whole world.
He's not Japanese, he's never been to Japan, he doesn't speak Japanese. Do Japanese people have their names tattoed on themselves in english? Sounds like a Danny Wallace style rant ( i hate him) it's jut something that really baffles me.
She responded with 'well it's fashion isn't it?'
On another note the receptionist at work had a baby and called it 'Nevaeh' because it's heaven backwards. What the hell is wrong with just calling it Heaven? I asked her if she was religous, she said no.....
Baffled. Please help me, i'm clearly missing something.

Haha - that made me laugh
