How to choose Japanese tattoo symbols
It’s important to take time to consider the meaning behind a
character in another language that you choose to get tattooed on
your body. For instance, if you want a tattoo of a saying in
Japanese, the literal translation might not be the best way to say
it. Consulting with a reliable and authoritative online source can
help you come up with the correct translation of
Japanese tattoo symbols
using popular kanji characters.
Tattooing in Asian languages is becoming quite popular, due to
Western interest in Eastern culture and religions, the aesthetic
value of the tattoos, and the highly personal nature of the symbols.
Also, there’s the appeal of just a few characters of Japanese symbol
tattoos conveying a message that would take a lot more words in the
English language.
The
Japanese language section of about.com has a listing of lots
of popular characters written in kanji, which is one of the more
popular scripts used in Japanese writing. You’ll find the characters
for love, courage, success, truth, protection, family, strength,
pride, and other charged words that are likely to have a deep,
symbolic meaning.
One way to come up with a pithy Japanese idiom or proverb, if you
do not want to use pay-for-translation sites on the Internet, is to
consult a professor in the language at your local college or
university. There are also some helpful books on Amazon.com, such as
Designing with Kanji. If you have seen a symbol at a tattoo studio
you like, checking with a few other sources to make sure it means
what you think it does is a great idea.
A Japanese character tattoo is a personal reflection of who you
are and what has happened in your life. Taking steps to ensure the
meaning of the symbols you choose will prevent your tattoo from
getting lost in the translation.
