Regarding Kanji Tattoos -
03-20-2009, 11:43 PM
I wasn't sure whether to put this in Art or Fashion or neither, so please move it if it's in the wrong forum.
Anyway, the issue: Kanji Tattoos It seems as if the only people I see with a kanji tattoo these days have some random symbol their friends may have told them to get because it's design is "cool". I have to question why people do this. The majority of people wearing a kanji tattoo have no idea what it says, let alone the pronunciation of it or the word it represents. If you're going to get a Japanese tattoo, why not write a meaningful sentence? You're a lot less likely to regret having a line from a poem or song tattoo'd on you than some random nonsense phrase, such as a phrase I noticed in another thread: "The one who carries the sword of darkness." That sounds like something a weeaboo or otaku would say... or someone who is obsessed with Naruto So instead of writing something that will look aesthetically pleasing, write something that makes sense or that will describe your character. これが読みません。 |

Well I suppose they can have whatever they want written on them but it I think it's a bit pointless when the characters make no sense or aren't even real kanji, just made up. Just seems stupid to me. I don't understand why people don't put more thought into their tattoos, too much get a tattoo for the sake of getting one.

all i have to say on this is..as long as the person knows what the kanji stands for, then it's all good.
i hate hearing about people who get kanji tattoos thinking it means something about their names or whatnot, when it turns out to be something insulting..'cause the person who gave them the tattoo thought it would be "funny". as for how it "looks", i'm not irritated by it at all. i love Miyavi. & he has kanji all over his body. But to despair was to wish back for something already lost. Or to prolong what was already unbearable. |
