Kanji for tattoos....
 

Anybody know how, or know someone who knows how to write Kanji for a tattoo? If you dont know kanji, its basically japanese writing. I need someone to do some kanji/caligraphy for a tat im getting... Anyone?

:glugglug

A decent tattoo shop should have a book of Kanji onsite

I hate those kind of tattoos. :321GFY

Yeah, but theres a certain type of look I want for it and I dont think they have it there :winkwink:

Don't know if this is the exact language type you are looking for, but they translate and do multiple text-types for tattoos:

Somewhat, yeah Thanks! Anyone else know of someone?

I'd just get a friend to do it, keep remembering those fake pages on theonion or eslewhere, where that supposed asian tattoo artists started fucking with peoples tat's writing shit like I am gay, etc. instead of what the person wanted.

Btw, what phrase/word are you looking to get translated?

One of my favourite games is reading to the moron strippers
what they've permently branded onto themselves in Chinese
characters. Then watching the horror expressions when it
sinks in that if they can't speak/read Chinese , the tat artist
can't either, *MOST* of the time you're *NOT* getting what
you thought. :1orglaugh

Stick to 1 modern simplified character if you don't read Chinese,
it's easier to have covered up.:winkwink:

Well, I can understand what it says and my gf can read kanji, she just cant draw it. So I have no problem knowing what it says ;) Hit me up on ICQ and Ill explain to ya :glugglug

Becareful I read a newspaper story about an artist (I think in canada) who was pissed that non-asians were asking for chinese characters as tattoos that instead of putting down =what they had asked for he would put his own intrepretation.

one girl asked for a tat of princess and he tattoed "prostitute"

Buyer beware.

Yeah, some people are pricks...This guy has a reputation and Ive gone there for a few piercings, Besides I dont live in Canada..

Anyone else know of a place?

I have the kan-ji for 'good' and 'evil', one on each forearm. Had my friends mom who's japanese write them out for me, although she thought I was pretty stupid for getting them :1orglaugh

I've made sure and ask other Japanese people, and they all read them as good and evil...even chinese people were able too. Only person that thought that meant something stupid was my white teacher that thought he could read Japanese.

I do not like Tattos:(

Question, if you can't read or write something then why in the world are you getting it permanently inked into your skin? If it's about being trendy then why not just get one of those stupid barbwire tats around your bicep?

Those things are wack. Get a dollar sign. I did. Of course I was high as shit and that was with a dirty safety pin and a bottle of india ink but it's still a dollar sign.

I can read it, I just cant draw it in caligraphy :winkwink:

Yay, found a good place http://www.transname.com/tattoo.html :thumbsup

Im not big on tattoos either, but there are a few that I would like to get. This one will be small, I dont go for those big tattoos, I think it looks nasty :winkwink:
