Symbols Tattoos

would you prefer the word “Water, Love, Rain” or “Water, Snow, Rain” in japanese tattoo symbols?

In all honesty- neither.

I am going to be getting 3 Japanese symbol tattoos, vertical down my back, starting at my neck. I want "Youth" as the top tattoo, "Power" in the middle. Then "Love" at the bottom. Not very original, but I have wanted it since I was very young. Does anyone know those symbols? I found a variety of symbols on dozens of different sites, all claiming they were the real symbol for youth, power, and love. I don’t want to rely on the internet, and get the wrong symbols on my back. Anyone know a LEGIT place, site, or person that can help me out?

[And sorry for saying symbols so many times, haha.]
Oh, and I’m pretty sure I have the correct symbols for power and love. Just not youth.

Let me know

hello, i’m native japanese
<Youth>
in one word, "若" means youth , and "者" means people
若者 the youth (people)
<Power>
力 or 権力
<Love>
愛 or 恋

chikai desuyo!
it means strong, firm, tough, etc.
the tattoo conveys the general meaning so it seems pretty correct

i forgot about tsuyoi, which means strong.

i want to make a tattoo which says "love life" in Japanese…i found a site which translated it like this – 愛生命 is it right?

If you translate "love life", I agree with huzzzzzahhh.

Keep in mind, however, that "愛の生活" doesn’t mean much of anything in Japanese. Just "愛" (love) alone would appear much better.

One more thing I’d like you to remember is, tattooing itself is not very compatible with the Japanese culture/society. This is probably because most of us don’t have any on us, and tattoos used to be peluliar to criminals and yakuzas (Japanese mafia). This might be unbelievable to you, but many public bathhouses/spas in Japan won’t let you in if you have tattoos on you, which is one of the controversial topics here.

The two symbols mean courage and strength…and they are on my forearm.

The military does not want "sleeve" tattoos, or, those that are visible with a short sleeve short on. I wouldn’t be surprised if they say no.

Neck tattoos are also not accepted.

I want to get a tattoo of the japanese symbols for love, peace, and happiness but I dont know where to find them.
can you please help me?
I want to get them on my forearm in a vertical order
im looking for the ones that are in the kanji style
I’m trying to find the ones that are one symbol for the word.
like one symbol for love
one symbol for peace
and one symbol for happiness

Please help me?
here’s a website that might help you understand what im talking about
www.dsfy.com
its under the customer photo stuff
its the sixth picture down.
Its the tattoo that im looking for and is in the correct style and its the one that i want but i dont want it to be in that kinda thick font. I want it to be thinner but still in the same way

ok one word

love 愛 (ai)

peace 和 (wa)

happiness 幸 (kou)

The reason for that questions is to see if my tattoos really mean what they said it would mean. I’ve looked for the symbols but can’t seem to find anything. I would be very grateful to find some answers here.

Pure in Chinese can be one of these 3: 纯净 純淨

Pure in japanese is: 純粋

Promise in Chinese can be one of these two: 诺言 諾言
Promise in Japanese: 約束

I would rather not have Chinese or Japanese symbols.

my grandma is Japanese, and she recently passed away….she was my strength, as well as a beautiful person. I got a koi tattooed on my ankle, to represent the strength and beauty. In japanese culture, a koi is said to represent strength and courage…due to their constant struggles

i was thinking about getting a tattoo of the japanese symbols meaning "beautiful disaster". does anyone know where i can find out how to write it?

美災
