A few translations - 12-19-2008, 11:40 AM

Hello guys

first post here and i have a special favor to ask of you.

Ive decided to have a tattoo and since im obviously posting here its gonna be in japanese.. but seeing as im incapable of speaking that i will need one or some of you to translate a few words for me. And i would really appreciate it..

so my tattoo is gonna be a circle of 5 japanese words: Love, Dreams, Disciplne, Faith and Trust.

Thanks for your time,

Will

P.S: Would be great if you used BIG font to make it easier to print/"read"
P.P.S: What i ment was the symbols.. rather than the long words themselves, like 1 symbol for each.. if it exists obviously

A guy who can't speak Japanese, getting a tattoo in Japanese.

What a tool

I wonder if my speal about permanently marking you body with characters you cannot read and trusting strangers on the Internet to give you honest and correct answers applies here.

I don't get it... is there something wrong with the ones he posted? What else are you looking for?

FYI, they're characters, not symbols.

Personally, I feel it's a bit silly as well.

Also a valid point, but anyone can verify the Kanji I posted (or even look up their own, shocking concept!) on Jisho in 5 minutes.

Many people do that and it also does look fascinating, so why not treat it like a picture / symbol.

I just find it rude that you come asking for our help, then saying it's not good enough.

The fact is, as a guy who can't speak Japanese and had to ask other people for the Kanji, those tattoos really don't represent you, do they?
