I was thinking about getting one. I wanted to blend both traditional Japanese and Native American art. Still need to work out the kinks before I walk into any parlor in the future.

tattoo help
 

what does the character at the end of his tail meanhttp://media.photobucket.com/image/c...agon-1.jpg?o=1

It is either backwards, or not Japanese or both. The top part doesn't look like anything I have seen before...

huh well ok thnx anyway

It's the mirror image of a kanji.

華 (flower)

cool then i will definitely consider this tattoo:vsign:

Probably shouldn't. My roommate, who owns a tattoo business, gave a chuckle after reading this. "Oh hey, it says flower in Japanese, that's totally trendy and I should ink it into my skin." My advice is to put some more thought into something permanent. When you grow out of your anime phase you'll be very sore to see this in the mirror

I learnt a new kanji hee hee, thanx...even tho 花 is easier :)
Question: so can I write 華火 for はなび (花火) or is it a mistake?

That would be a big mistake. Those two kanji are basically NOT interchangeable.
