I　was looking for some help for my tattoo that I would like to get.
I would like it to say, What's my age again? In 日本語 but this is as far as I can get! Help would be appreciated!
私の何歳ですか。

I'm saddened that no one in three pages has pointed out to you that you never use さん to refer to yourself.

Also don't get a kanji tattoo. See hanzismatter.com for reasons. Even if you get a correct translation, your tattoo artist will inevitably screw it up.

I might point out, packetpirate, that you should have removed the 「さん」 from his sentence as well, since you never refer to yourself with that honorific.

I wonder, do people in Asia get a tattoo on their arm with English words? Like "Sky", "Warrior", "Water", "Power", and all the other Kanji people, in America, would get on their arm?

I guess people think it is more symbolic when one has a tattoo in foreign writing....

I saw an article detailing how people in China were being tricked into using the equivalent of the English version of our "fake chinese alphabet"... (you know, the one they use 26 different characters to 'spell' English names?) They were getting tattoos of words like "FROMP" and "JSKAF" and random crap like that.

First of all. If you liked Blink-182 at all. You would know why I am getting the tattoo. Blink-182 makes me feel younger. I'm 19 but I act very young sometimes. Therefore I would like to get a tattoo representing my youth. And it's the summer and I've only taken one semester of Japanese, so I have forgotten a lot. But anyway. Thanks for not helping and everyone being a complete douche bag, just because I put spaces in or elongated my introduction. So thanks for not helping me at all!
