Kanji Tattoos- is intended in that language.

Kanji tattoos are tattoos utilizing Japanese writing. The Kanji is one of the oldest writing styles in Japan and the unique, stylized figures make excellent tattoos.

However, be aware of the literal translations when selecting the Kanji lettering. As with any foreign language, literal translations don’t always work or they won’t mean what is intended in that language.

Patience, serenity, loyalty, love, strength, determination and other keywords are all available in Kanji symbols and make great Kanji tattoos.


The Japanese alphabet does not strictly translate into the Standard English alphabet. Therefore, going for a direct translation of an American or English name to Kanji won’t work.
