I think every one that has replyed negatively on this thread is correct to an extent

that is because I have a chinese tattoo but it is my sons name and I had my chinese friend write it out for me

basically unless it has deep meaning to you and its only one word dont get it in japanese the only reason i got mine done is because its my son's name and it looks far prettier in chinese than english and it would probabily look just as good in japanese I just didn't have any japanese friends when i got it done :P
