Tattoo
 
Hello!

I have a very stupid friend.. i mean very! She has taken a tattoo with japanese (maybe) signs... and she has no idea what it means.. (dont ask me why)

Now dear Japan fantasts, please can someone help us to translate these signs?

I don't know what your friend intended in her tattoo, but it looks like beautiful gibberish to me.

At least its beautiful haha.

On a side note: they look a bit poorly executed...

At least they are legible characters, she could do much worse,

What on earth possesses people to tattoos in a language they don't understand?

My wife and her sister got matching Kanji tattoos (without telling me, much to my dismay) of 妹 because the tattoo book said that it means "Sisters"... So now they both have a tattoo that means "Younger Sister"

Good thing she wasn't too upset about it I guess.

Is she the younger sister, or is her sister?

They could both add 姉 to make it 姉妹 which means "sisters".

She's the older one. She got a design around her tattoo so there isn't any room for the counterpart kanji, and her sister's is centered on her neck horizontally so adding anything would look odd.
