I am looking to get "MUSIC IS LIFE" tattooed on my arm...but in japanese...know where i can find some help?

Question

I would like to find a website where i can find those symbols so i cant just print it out and give it to the tat artist...

Answer 1

Be absolutely sure that it says what you think it says. Most Japanese or Chinese tattoos make no sense when translated. This site is dedicated to translating tattoos: http://www.hanzismatter.com/

Answer 2

I wanted to give a poem that I had written to someone that was living in Japan at the time, and I wanted to give it to him in Japanese - so this is what I did.
I went to the local sushi market, and explained my situation to the sushi chef (who was speaking japanese at the time) I asked him to translate the poem (it was all a haiku) and he did. I then took that translation to another person in another japanese market, and asked them to tell me what it said. It was correct, so I sent it. It might seem like a lot of bother, but you might consider it, considering that you are going to be wearing it for life.

Answer 3

are you japanese? why can't you get it in english? i'm a fan of other languages, but i wouldn't get them tattooed on me, unless it is a prayer or something like that which will lose it's true meaning if translated.

music is life should be in english.

Answer 4

音楽は生命である

Answer 5

I've said it before and I'll say it again...don't get things tattooed onto your body that you can't read.

活為音樂

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
