I didnt know if there was a site, or someplace that you can get accurate, up to date kanji
I know there are different translations for every symbol, and that some are “outdated”
so i want to make sure i get the right ones
me and my bro are wantin to get matchin tattoos, the specific symbols we want are:
Brotherhood
Wisdom
Faith
Ive googled them and found some but i found a few different ones so i didnt know if someone on here had a catalog of accurate symbols, or knew one that was trustworthy online.
Thanks for any input
Also, i was lookin for a way to spruce it up a ltitle so it isnt just two symbols.
Should i jsut tell my artist I’m wantin a filler in the letter, or just some shading in the back?
Or do i need to have a more specific idea of what im wanting before i talk to him?

Hey,
I use this site all the time to get accurate kanji. It’s a real person translating it instead of some innacurate online translator. This site is great.

There is a fee, but at least you know you’re getting exactly what you want and you won’t be stuck with a tattoo that means something terrible. Good Luck!

Thanks Custom, yea id def rather pay and get the right symbol than be a cheapo and get the wrong one
dont wanna end up like britney spears and try to get “mysterious” and end up getting “strange” lol
And Outlaw, i may be wrong
i jus thought there was an “old” kanji and a “new” kanji, but like i said, that might not be right
any ideas on how to spruce it up?
ive been thinkin either japanese style background shading, or a scroll
anyone ever seen a kanji with a cool filler?
any other ideas i can take to the artist?
Hi
There is modern and traditional characters and some sites literally use a sounds like approach rather than the exact cultural/language translation.
They don’t go out of date it is just that there are a lot of unscrupulous bastards out there who will try and sell any old shite to the unwary.
You are doing the right thing in getting it checked out.
I do have a friend who is from Hong Kong and is fluent in Chinese (worked as a translator) but although they know a little spoken Japanese they may struggle with written.
If you want Chinese I can get a pdf done for you with the words from them otherwise if Japanese I would recommend a professional translation service or grab a japanese to english dictionary and check it out.
Take care
Matthew
ok thanks.
yea i will probably pay for the site that Custom gave me
I like the idea of a person doin it of course, and i like that we will get a couple fonts to choose from
i figure i never price shop for a tattoo, i go to the person i feel comfortable with so y would i price shop when finding the right words.
thanks for the help guys.
any tips on jazzing up a kanji tatt, instead of just a few symbols?
like backgrounds or fillers?
So is Kanji japanese? and Not chinese?
I just noticed that the site you gave me Custom says its chinese lettering, which i really didnt pay attention to until i saw Sheravs post
i dont necessarily have a preference for either, i just assumed it was Kanji. Its not like i can read either one, so which ever is more aesthetically pleasing is fine with me
So Sherav, you think ur friend could translate “Wisdom” “Brotherhood” and “Faith” for me?
