I would like a 4 to 6 symbol Japanese tattoo on my ribs but im not sure what to get and I keep finding out its easy to get a statement that’s wrong. I would like something along the lines of "Carpe Diem" which pretty much means stop living for the future and just live your life for what it is today. So if anyone has some phrases that are around 4 or more symbols please post them and tell me what they mean.

Thanks.

Any other Kanji tattoo sites that may help me please post them, thanks.

(and yes i know that everyone and there brother gets a japanese tattoo and its not original so stop telling me that)
Awesome, thanks i must have missed that link on the other one.

Why don’t you tell us EXACTLY what you want, then we’ll tell you the translation… after all, it is your body, and we (at least I), don’t want to be responsible if you decide it is not exactly what you wanted.
good luck

any sugestions?

looking to get some japanese tattoos, have a really having a time trying to find a good website

Make sure you use a reputable site. My best friend got the symbol she thought meant "strength" only to find out later that it really means "manliness." So funny!

I double checked and this is the right one. Thankyouu x

Since every answer so far has been right, I’m hoping this is just a joke (開玩笑) on your part and that you didn’t get this tattoo.

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
