Tattoo horror story…can I sue?

I went to a tattoo studio and asked for Chinese characters that say “courage, strength and unity”; the tattoo artist assured me he was a native speaker and would translate the sentence accurately.

I thought the tattoo looked great, but when I showed it to my Chinese friend he said it meant “he who loves men”. There’s also a character that’s not even a Chinese character at all, but resembles a dancing phallus.

I got really upset, to say the least, and several other people have confirmed the meaning…

What am I supposed to do now? Can I sue the artist? The shop? My girlfriend if she was in on it (she referred me to the artist, and I think she may be cheating on me with him)?
