Japanese Tattoos

The use of Japanese symbols is rarely used for tattoos in Japan – but is increasingly popular in both America and Europe.

Japanese Kanji are of Chinese origin – and are a simplification of the Chinese characters.  There are about 50,000 kanji characters to choose from.

Remember to choose a symbol encompasses a part of one’s personality to a significant degree. Symbols expressing a momentary, fleeting emotion are generally not recommended in any regard.

Make sure you double check the meaning of the symbol – we have heard many horror stories of inappropriate symbols being used.
