Another think is that I always speaks from Kanji but if there is other way to write "Father of Peace" in vertical it's ok also.
The only important think is to understand the "essence" and the meaning of the characters that have to mena "Father of Peace"
Thank's to everyone to participate in this Thread  |
No, I think your English was clear. It's just that we get so many people here who want names in kanji, which isn't usually possible, that it is basically instinctive to assume everyone asking your question is asking for that.
It is clear you understand that you aren't getting (or asking for) "Axel in Japanese." Rather, you're getting
something with the same meaning as the name.
The "father" in "father of peace" is God, correct? In the Lord's prayer, "father" is translated as 父, which is literally "father."
Peace is 平和. So I would also say 平和の父, although it looks weird and I think it would look even weirder on your arm. I would get the same feeling from seeing that as I would seeing "padre de paz" on your arm. Is this what you want? It will just look weird to anyone who can read it, and it won't mean anything to anyone who doesn't speak Japanese.
Essentially, you're seeking to get a tattoo that no one will associate with your son. In fact, Japanese speakers will probably assume you think you are talking about yourself with the tattoo.
