I agree, DON'T get a tat that has Kanji in it or Hiragana, or Katakana, etc...
We saw a guy with a tat on his calf muscle, it said "Fast cats" --- we asked him what he thought it meant, he said Brave Dragon... my wife and I just said, politely, no sorry, that’s not true, she wrote out the Kanji for it and gave it to him, he left that napkin on the table at the food court, we just laughed once he was gone, I feel sorry for him.
Also we saw a guy with a Kanji hat on one day,... Pill Chicken was the Kanji, LOL!
Its like when Japanese wear "Engrish" on their clothes, "We can fast one rest over spot." --- What the hell does that mean? LOL!
Okay just my .02 worth.
Peace! and if you do, get one, post a picture, please!
