The son of a friend of mine just got a Chinese tattoo, does it say what I think it does?

It consists of the following characters running down his arm (top to bottom):

白痴男孩

The reproduction may not be perfect, I spent hours comparing a picture of his arm to a list of the Chinese alphabet. Is Google translate correct?

He is so proud of himself, If I'm correct, should I tell him?

Update:

The reason I'm asking is because a Chinese man saw it and started laughing.

    白痴男孩 means "an imbecile or idiotic boy".

    That's why the Chinese man laughed while seeing it.

    Please tell the boy to remove the tattoo, which makes him a laughingstock.

    BTW, 天才男孩 means "a boy genius".

    Source(s): I am Chinese.
