The eternal debate of Kanji tattoos in Japanese. Are they a fad? Who gets it tattooed have no idea what it means? The truth is that we can perfectly link this debate with the article that we published a few months ago talking about Chinese letter tattoos that may not be a good idea. Well, the same can be said of any tattoo in japanese.
There are few people who have some type of tattoo in Japanese. Whether it is a tattoo of the name of a loved or family member who is no longer with us or a motivating phrase, tattoos in Japanese present the language barrier as the main problem. That's right, to this day there are still people who want to get a tattoo in a language that they do not master. The reason? Perhaps a simple fad, although it is something that a server does not understand. And yes, I say it having a little phrase in English tattooed (Be positive).
Although we will not advertise in this article (since we are not here for it), a server is a follower of a videoblogger who resides in Japan and who recently covered this topic. The best thing is that, together with a friend, they comment live images of people with a tattoo in Japanese. And yes, in most cases, we will find tattoos with strange meanings or even the lack of a kanji to complete the tattooed phrase.
And it is that, in short, If you are going to get a tattoo in a language that you do not master, you should think twice Or, better still, find a professional translator who knows it to make sure that your tattoo will mean what you want. This way you will avoid having to go through the tattoo studio again to fix it, cover it or, directly, eliminate it.
