Tattoo artists aren't retarded most of the time, so if you give them an enlarged picture of a Kanji they can probably handle copying it. I believe that it is often the person getting the tattoo that made the mistake.

Hehehe... make sure it isn't inverted. LOL.


The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…

For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold…

I was looking for some help for my tattoo that I would like to get.
I would like it to say, What's my age again? In 日本語 but this is as far as I can get! Help would be appreciated!
私の何歳ですか。
I'm saddened that no one in three pages has pointed out to you that you never use さん to refer to yourself.

Also don't get a kanji tattoo. See hanzismatter.com for reasons. Even if you get a correct translation, your tattoo artist will inevitably screw it up.

I wonder, do people in Asia get a tattoo on their arm with English words? Like "Sky", "Warrior", "Water", "Power", and all the other Kanji people, in America, would get on their arm?

I guess people think it is more symbolic when one has a tattoo in foreign writing....

As Devirru pointed out.

I saw an article detailing how people in China were being tricked into using the equivalent of the English version of our "fake chinese alphabet"... (you know, the one they use 26 different characters to 'spell' English names?) They were getting tattoos of words like "FROMP" and "JSKAF" and random crap like that.

LOL. That's just sad. But genius at the same time.

Thanks for not helping and everyone being a complete douche bag, just because I put spaces in or elongated my introduction. So thanks for not helping me at all!
