Just to let you know, as far as I know, no Japanese person gets kanji tattoos like Americans. The traditional tattoo over there is called "Irezumi". I don't want to say it's not accepted, but lets just say there's a reason that only the Yakuza does it. Also, there are even some places in Japan where they will not allow you access if you have a tattoo... that and the fact that you're a foreigner will bar you from a lot of places.
