Answer 1

Here is a cool site that will translate your name(or other) into approximate Kanji script

I own 3 wood plaques with the word(s) "Bonsai"(literally,tree in a tray), translated into Kanji Script...I think Kanji would be an awesome art to learn.

Answer 2

Japanese is tough because it depends on what you mean by the words above. For example, there are many, many words in Japanese for eternal... etaanaru* (n) eternal fuhen (adj-na,n,adj-no) eternal; everlasting; unchangeable; immutable; immovable; constant; permanent; indestructible; fuhennori (n) eternal truth hateshiganai (adj) endless; boundless; fathomless; eternal And many more. Now I'm not Japanese expert but I'd be willing to bet each has a different symbol. I found on a translator website the following..."The complexity of Japanese symbols meanings cannot be stressed enough. Japanese Kanji characters, for example, do not translate directly to English words and very rarely will you be able to define a Japanese Kanji symbol with just one English word." So the answer is no, I don't have a site for you that will definitely give you what you're looking for, but the one below has some common symbols generally thought (by Americans) as being acceptable. Be careful though that you don't put something on yourself that doesn't mean what you want to express. Get the opinion of a professional in Kanji first.

Answer 3

Impossible, foreign names can't be written in Kanji hello Katakana much and I thought you knew that! Anyways learn the language first and then when you do you're good. I mean imagine if I didn't know Kanji etc. and got a tattoo of a Kanji that I thought said love and it said stupid? Ai and Baka

Answer 4

don't try to be trendy, you'll regret it later. Unless you can speak and write the language, why would you put it on your body? For all you know, it may say something completely opposite of the meaning.

Answer 5

Like Eric said "Don't wear or put anything on your body that you can't read." What's your question? What do you need it for? a tattoo?
