@ tokioprincess1, thanks a lot, glad you like it.
@ eezy1, thanks man, apprecviate it.
If you want to tattoo a font (PC font), then it will not be a calligraphy. Fonts are used in western calligraphy which is more of a precision craft, whereas Chinese/Japanese calligraphy differ in this matter greatly.
The script or style on that document is called standard style, or kaisho (楷書), in Japanese. It is second to the most recent script (historically) and most formal style in calligraphy, used mainly on official documents, etc. Tattoos in kaisho are quite popular in Western countries, as the kanji tattoo examples available in tattoo stores are mostly in that style, though they are usually computerized fonts.
If you are looking for a tattoo design written with a brush, then please send me a PM, and we can talk about it, but if you need a text in computerized font (which is not advisable, due to the fact that many kanji in hand-written form look differently than those put down in computer font) then I cannot help you, as I do not use such fonts on my PC (except the standard ones included in win7).
