I don't know the first one (they have a meaning taken alone, but since I don't know if they have a meaning all together I will pass on this one), but the second one are the season, missing falls (from the top: spring, summer and winter).
|
Looks like disjointed characters to me.
The first one says (and I am guessing context here): 歓 - Happiness 恋 - Love 貴 - Of high moral/social standing 実 - Truth... or fruit The second one doesnt make any sense. I suspect it is suppose to be 春夏秋冬 shunkashuutou - meaning the 4 seasons but they left autumn out! (Doh) so now its just a laughable mess. Ahh yes Kanji Tattoos.... |
The first one looks really messed because I cant find a meaning at all for it.
歓 Joy 変 Strange 貴 Nobility or value? 実 Truth put these together and you get....nothing かんへんきじつ? 春夏「秋」冬 Just as kirakira pointed out....also haru is missing a stroke. |
I was wondering the same thing. I was not sure if it was the light or the angle, but it really seems that 春 is written with the 口 radical instead of 日.
|
The second one is a part of phrase of as below
春夏冬二合半 meaning ; wish one's business go well. It's a pun. 春夏冬=there is no autumn in japanese →akinai aki=autumn nai=no akinai is business or commerce in japanese. Please think twice before do that! :vsign: |
Quote:
「二合半」= 「枡(ます)、枡(ます)、半枡(はんしょう)」(1, 1, half) =「益々繁盛」 They cheated with the last word as 半枡 はんしょう is not quite 繁盛 はんじょう but close enough apparently. |
Quote:
And its just a bunch of random characters, I'm not even sure how to pronounce them given no context. I mean 実 could be pronounced み in which case it just means fruit of a plant. Not exactly tattoo material. |

Could be another proverb or pun as oldmankozou pointed out about the seasons tattoo. When I pop those those kanjis into my dictionary nothing show up besides their pronounciation as a single. |
