Hello there!

There's a sticky on how to get Japanese characters on your computer...
http://www.japanforum.com/forum/japa...s-your-pc.html

After you have done that, here's my guess:
ジェンセン

Ps. That's a weird thread title...

That's exactly what I thought too

You want to permantly imprint characters you cannot read onto your body, but you are not willing to take five minutes to activate your computer to display said characters, and expect strangers to give you those characters for free in a JPEG anonymously.

Meet us halfway and try again.

If you want to spell your name in katakana or hiragana characters, it's quite easy: ジェンセン　or じぇんせん. If you want your name in kanji, it's a bit more difficult, as there are many characters which the sounds in your name, but which have very different meanings. You would have to decide which characters you like depending on their meaning. The second half of your name could mean anything from "1000" to "train line", depending on the characters you pick.

Not this idea again... This seems like the 20th time I've seen a thread like this.
What ever happened to being creative. Tattoos are supposed to be a work of art.

IMO, it's completely off. It wouldn't seem authentic or anything since the OP's name isn't Japanese as far as Kanji is concerned. Even in hiragana, it'd seem off to me. To be honest, I feel it would look foolish walking around with a foreign name written in hiragan

IMO, seems like a waste to get a tattoo of one's name when the only way it would be acceptable to write it in is katakana since it is foreign to Japan.

Personally, if I was to get a tattoo of something Japanese, I'd get one of a Kanji character that best describes me or if I were to use my "name", I'd go with a Japanese Kanji that might match my name's meaning.

Of course my name's meaning is kind of interesting...

My first name can mean "blessed" or "fair" or "light-skinned"
My middle name can mean "truth" or "rational" or "noble"
My last name means "son of the devotee of Saint Brigid"

Odd combo, but maybe a Kanji matching one of the descriptions for my first or middle name might make a nice tattoo. Of course "light-skinned" would be totally out for obvious reasons.

Using my literal name (in katakana) would be extremely boring and not very artistic at all, I feel, and I feel this way for pretty much anyone who chooses to do so.
