I've found so much of them in the www but all of them are looking different.
The word 'faithful' has many meanings. Which one did you have in mind? One more thing. Did you want an adjective or noun?

no they are one word together( a compound of two kanji) i don't think there is a single kanji on its own the means faithful. Tell nagoyankee exactly what type of faithfulness you want and he'll tell you.

The adjective please, I it need for my tattoo (yeah, I know, you think now what the hell, why does he needs a kanji when he can't understand the language the thing is, that I want an japanese tattoo and an english word wouldn't fit in there).
In this context it should mean that I'm faithful to myself but instead of this sentence I'm looking for the single word - faithful because there's not the space for a whole sentence, only for one or two kanjis.
More over a lot of people don't know the kanji and when they see it and ask me what it means I can tell them my story

I just think that this could have been done in a much better way by another tattooist.
