I am pretty sure what it means for me and thats why i want to make this tattoo.
My question is rather linguistic. My Japanese is not so advanced to actually 'feel' this word.

Many people have kanji tattoos with their names so such tattoo is phonetically similar to western name but kanjis together has no meaning or make it gibberish so thats why it may sound funny.

Another thing is that I want to be sure that in Japanese seishinryoku really means 'power of will' and refers to some extraordinary part of our being. You know to avoid such situation that someone can tell me that eg. seishinryoku is just a word meaning 'mood' or 'humour' and u can be in a good seishinryoku when you got bonus check or in a bad seishinryoku when u argued with ur gf.

So i just want to make sure that the word seishinryoku refers to some spiritual , magic part of ur life not to everyday routine
