Kanji

There are three types of Japanese symbols to choose from when considering a japanese style tattoo. Kanji is by far the most popular of these three Japanese symbols, especially suitable as tattoos for women if you are looking for a unique and stylish kanji tattoo design. Every individual Kanji tattoo symbol represents an idea or meaning and there are literally thousands of Kanji ideographs up to some estimates of 40,000 so it makes sense to go to a specialist to give you a proper translation and purchase a stencil before you commit to your japanese kanji tattoo.

Kanji symbols

Kanji peace symbol	Kanji respect symbol

The other two Japanese symbol types are called Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is used as an everyday writing style script and used in media and print such as magazines and newspapers it has a much more rounded appearance than Kanji symbols and some people refer to these Hiragana symbols as cursive, so when searching for a Hiragana tattoo remember it may be referred to as a cursive tattoo. It is possible to mix these styles so that you have writing ( Hiragana ) and your Kanji (idea or meaning ) in one sentence.

Katakana symbols

Katakana symbols are mainly used to write non Japanese names i.e. the translation of non Japanese words and have a more angular and sharp appearance than Hiragana symbols. Hiragana and Katakana are know together as Kana and there are approximately 46 symbols for each set of Hiragana and Katakana these symbols were originally based on the Kanji symbols developed in the 9th century and have been modified since this time to produce the symbols you see today.

Dear Takanori-san,

Thank you so much!!!!!
i just received my pictures and they are perfect!!!! they are exactly what i was looking for....and now thanks to you my friend, i know that they are authentic & correct. I am having these symbols(my daughters name) tattooed, i will gladly send you the pictures when i have the work done.

Again thank you so much!!!! count on hearing from me again my friend, i will tell everyone i know about this awesome service you provide....oh, the address you have on file is correct
for mailing, i look forward to the book. I came across you services through a search engine, and did a lot of research and came to the conclusion that you and your website was the way to go!!!!

I was hesitant at first, but having your picture on your website REALLY HELPS! (makes me feel im not just sending my money off into la la land) and the testimonials i read were the deciding factor in my decision...all those satisfied people cannot be wrong.

I definitely will be using your service again for other personal projects, but i also will praise and recommend you to everyone interested. my tattoo artist was excited when i gave him all this info, as he says he gets a lot of requests for Japanese kanji symbols but does not have a resource for correct symbols, so he has to turn away customers. well....no longer because we found you!!!!!

Thank you again Takanori, i look forward to speaking with you again soon,

Best Regards,

Daniel Anderson
