Red face Japanese Kanji tattoo help - 12-19-2010, 05:36 PM

I'm not really sure if this post qualifies for this section but I give it a shot anyway. I am planning on doing several more tattoos on my back in addition to the one I have already, and I need a little help to ensure I get it right. I have one kanji tattooed on my back already, however it is rather large and also very important and meaningful to me (mizu). What I want to do is to continue further below it with smaller text in three sections, aligned underneath to balance it out.

The tricky part for me here is to ensure both that I get the kanji's and meaning right, while also make sure they are correctly placed above/under each other. I have the lyrics I would like to tattoo, yet need to make sure they are correct and need help putting them vertical rather than horizontally. To give you an idea of what I'm aiming for, I have made a simple image.

This is a image of me and the mizu tattoo I already have. What I would like to do is pretty much what I doodled underneath it with the random kanjis (ignore the meaning, I did not put any effort into making it right, I just needed something for comparison to see if I wanted it that way)
The lyrics I would like is:

kanji:

窓辺に一人きりで只雪を見つめてる君を思い出しながら
硝子越しに君を浮かべ最後の口付けして

ねぇ 笑ってよ もう泣かないで
ここからずっと貴方を見ているわ

romaji:
(Note: Some sources say the correct word is madohen and not madobe, but I'm not sure which one is right)

Madobe ni hitori kiride tada yuki wo mitsumeteru
kimi wo omoidashi nagara garasu goshi ni kimi wo
ukabe saigo no kuchitsuke shite

Nee waratteyo mou nakanaide
koko kara zutto anata wo mite iru wa


english:
(there are many and varying exact translations for these lyrics, so I just picked one of them as they basically mean the same thing)

All alone by the window, just staring at the snow
While remembering you, seeing you in the glass
I give you a final kiss

Come on, smile, don't cry anymore
From here on, I'll always be watching you


I hope this isn't too much to ask for and that someone out there will try to help me out with this or direct me to someone who can. These lyrics and their meaning are really important to me and I really want to get this right. Send me a personal message or a reply here if you're interested or have any questions/comments
