How to Get the Perfect Kanji Tattoo You Deserve
Summary
Planning to get a kanji tattoo? Read on to ensure your tattoo is as meaningful and accurate as you envision.
Understanding Kanji
Kanji are Chinese characters used in the Japanese language. In Japanese writing, there are two systems: kana (including hiragana and katakana) and kanji. Originating from written Chinese, kanji have been adapted for Japanese sounds and meanings. While some kanji retain similar meanings across both languages, others differ entirely. There are even kanji unique to Japanese not found in Chinese.
Japanese Kanji vs. Chinese Symbol Tattoos
What you often see as "kanji tattoos" are technically Chinese symbol tattoos. While Japanese kanji consist of hundreds of symbols derived from Chinese, Chinese characters have a history spanning 4,000 years, with over 47,000 symbols in the Kangxi Dictionary. This means Chinese symbols offer more flexibility in expression.
Achieving the Perfect Kanji Tattoo
I'm Yingying, a Chinese tattoo artist with three years of experience helping people choose kanji tattoos. Kanji are admired for their beauty and meaning, but mistakes are common. Errors, like getting kanji backward, can give tattoos unintended meanings. Avoiding these pitfalls requires proper preparation, not simply walking into a tattoo parlor unprepared. Tattoo removal is possible but costly and painful, so it's wise to thoroughly research before committing.
Steps to a Perfect Tattoo
1. Professional Translation: Don't rely on just anyone who speaks Chinese. Translating kanji requires knowledge across different regions and historical spans. Ensure you consult an expert.
2. Custom Calligraphy: Opt for Chinese calligraphy, which transforms kanji into art. More than just writing, calligraphy conveys emotion and spirit. A well-designed tattoo reflects self-respect and love. Custom designs should include a stencil outline, which serves as the blueprint for the tattoo. This prevents errors during the inking process.
By following these steps, you can ensure your kanji tattoo is both beautiful and meaningful.
