Kanji Tattoo gone wrong on 7 virtues of Bushido on the Internet
You can find many free images for them on the Internet. Sadly, it is very common to spot wrong, not properly written and even severe lack of important kanji, and people end up having those wrong symbols on their body…When I image-googled “7 virtues of bushido tattoo “, the result was shocking… Here is the search result.
This gentleman has a really impressive back! but to us, the Japanese, some of the characters make us go ‘oh…’
Another search result below with severe lack of important kanji for ‘Honour’ and ‘Loyalty’. Each virtue needs 2 kanji symbols.
- Honour: 名 & 誉
- Loyalty: 忠 & 義
However, the image blow shows only one Kanji symbol for them, 誉 & 忠, missing 名 for honour and 義 for loyalty.
In the image above, I put the missing kanji in yellow to the side of ‘Honour’ & ‘Loyalty’ (The two bottom Kanji symbols). I can point out many more of these wrong Kanji symbols but stop here.
No Machine Translations = No More Kanji Fail
Kanji are very tricky scripts and some people end up with wrong/awkward kanji tattoos. Without proper understanding of the Japanese language and writing systems(require the use of 3 different scripts), simply putting together the kanji obtained from Kanji generators might lead to Kanji tattoo fail. Even a celebrity like Ariana Grande got it wrong. (I’m glad she’s got it fixed with the help of her tutor and she’s happy with that Japanese script tattoo)
7 Rings in Japanese is 七つの指輪. Had she consulted a native Japanese speaker, her tattoo would’ve looked like this. #Japaneselettertattoo #Kanjitattoo #Japanesewritingtattoo pic.twitter.com/V5V2tJ1HlV

For this reason, it is best to consult a native Japanese speaker beforehand whether the kanji actually conveys the meaning you have in mind. To help people get the right Japanese writing tattoos, I started this online store. All letters here at Yorozuya.tech are verified by a native Japanese speaker, and you can download the letters right after purchase.

The letters are 100% accurate and he/she does not need to know any Japanese. The file contains both calligraphy style and line art (Stencil).Stencil is what your tattoo artist must have to ink the tattoo as it serves as the outline to trace the artwork onto your skin.
NOTE : The letters DO NOT NEED TO BE MIRRORED, they should appear just as it appears on the print-out.
Illustrator Friendly PDF File For Greater Flexibility
The pdf file is illustrator editable and your favourite tattoo artist can freely change the size to perfectly adjust to your need. Your tattoo artist can make it bigger without the outline getting blurry.
