What is the meaning of kanji hieroglyphs?
 
Hello everyone!

I just liked these kanji hieroglyphs (see attached image), and decided to make them as tattoo. But really don't know accurate meaning of these japanese words or symbols.

Could you help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day :-)

Please note that kanji are not hieroglyphs. Chinese characters belong to a large group of logographs, althought they are not pure logographs either. Majority of them are mutations of ideaographs, and there are 6 major etymologic groups of kanji. But this should not matter to anyone willing to tattoo a computer font of kanji...

In case you wanted to see the text too;
第六感
which is pronounced "dairokkan"

@ Ryuurui
The use of "hieroglyphs" bothered me too...
