Holy cripes, please don't put that as a tattoo.

We laugh at Japanese "Engrish" on their t-shirts and they laugh at our nonsensical kanji tattoos. At least they can take off thier t-shirts.

That is the right kanji. Here's what it means in English:

boy;
priest;
priest's residence;

Think VERY long and hard if you want that permanently on your body. Every Japanese person who every sees it will scratch their heard and say "silly gaijin". writing "BOY" as a tattoo.

Put it this way. Japanese fans of An Cafe would never get this as a tattoo.
