What exactly are kanji tattoos?
Character tattoos are really popular among people looking to get
body art. If you choose to get one, it's a good idea to learn a bit
about the language you're choosing to get tattooed. This helps you
to get the best possible tattoo. For example, kanji tattoos are
quite popular. You may already know this, but how much do you know
about kanji itself?
One way to learn more about kanji is to look through a dictionary
of phrases and words in the language. This not only helps you find
the right character to have tattooed on your body, but a kanji
tattoo dictionary with images of the characters also can familiarize
you with the look and feel of the kanji style. The
Japanese section of About.com has hundreds of words to study in
a kanji-to-English dictionary.
What exactly is kanji though? Kanji is a style of writing in the
Japanese language that also incorporates Chinese characters. The
character may be directly borrowed from the Chinese language or
adapted. Tattoos written in kanji are usually characterized by thick
lines and a bold brushstroke effect. They stand out really nicely no
matter where you want to get the tattoo.
The kanji style of writing is perfect for character-based
tattoos. While black tends to be the popular color for character
tattoos, other colors look great too -- be creative! For some
inspiration for your kanji character tattoo, check out the kanji
gallery from
BME. You'll learn some new symbols and see how to work other
design elements, like suns or animals, into your tattoo.
