I don't understand why so many people are concerned with "protecting" these individuals from getting Kanji Tattoos. It's their choice and I doubt anyone has ever changed their mind because of what people here have said; the least we should do is give them a proper translation and explain why we think it is a bad idea or why the translation may not make sense. I'm sure these people just leave here and look elsewhere for a translation that may or may not even be correct.

More importantly, it is scary how quickly people attack the OP in these threads. We know absolutely nothing about this person and have no reason to make judgments against them; perhaps her Father was Japanese or maybe had some other connection to Japan. She obviously doesn't live in Japan, so it is pretty irrelevant what Japanese people would think of her tattoo (though still worth mentioning in case she goes to Japan.)
