I once tried reading a Japanese girls lips who was walking towards me last summer, no matter how hard I tried I could not understand, perhaps she should have taken off her skin tight leggings so I could have seen her lips better!

Snazy,

I won't bore you with the full translation, but the gist of it is it'll be ready on tuesday

Tam the bam

Snazy

Any ideas anyone, all 4 bits if poss

The Chief

Ask MYKP in Northern, he lived in Japan for a while and his wife is japanese

From top down;

No.1 - 'Only one life, no regrets'.
No.2 - 'A' or 'One' or 'Only' or 'Single' ...... 'life given now'.
No3. - 'A' or 'One' or 'Only' or 'Single'..... 'opportunity' or 'Chance' or 'Reason'.
No.4 - 'Regret'.

As is common with a lot of Kanji, absolute meanings can be difficult without context.
Translation c/o my very helpful secretary.

djmisio85

pretty much what coolangatta said...

Why have you got this Japanese text anyway?

Snazy

Superb mate I seriously owe you one for that.
With image 4 can you possibly check, if this ammendment makes it into "No Regret" please very please !!

Having been looking into Japanese for a while, I have to agree Kanji is one hell of a complex language!

Thank you again, and in advance if you can manage that last one, and many thanks to your secretary

Snazy

If you can help with the last one too I would appreciate that
The text is for a tattoo im having done. Its quite a large scroll, so needs to be right

Turbo2

The Stereo / Sat Nav on my JDM Scooby's got Japanese buttons.

It's all Greek to me though.

Snazy

Greek, Japanese, all the same.... I have tattoo's of both now lol

coolangatta

Yes, now reads 'No regrets', however I have to warn you that to a native Japanese, I'm told, it doesn't look so good and would raise an eyebrow or two here.
Apparently the Kanji would be somewhat different if done by a Japanese artist.
It's always a nightmare. I have Japanese friends who laugh at the Kanji used in 'western' tattoos.
I'm not back at work now until Wednesday next week (Golden week holidays). If you can wait that long I'm sure my secretary can offer the 'perfect' Kanji.
Better to get it right I think.

Snazy

Mate that would be absolutely superb if you could Not menu stuff though please lol. (although I would be tempted to lol)

Will be interested to see the difference, and how it gets written. Know anyone who can do calligraphy do ya ? lol.

I will just get the colouring done on Friday, im more than happy to wait for the right text.

If you know anyone who can get it perfect and write it up in a way it would look good on skin, im more than happy to pay Give me an email address and I will show you where its going, and how it looks at the mo...

Thanks again.

PG

Michael,
Sorry but my brother hasn't got back to me but it looks like you're having some joy here already. Hopefully either him or his GF, Rieko will at some point get back.

Paul.

Snazy

no worries, thank you all the same.
Im having much joy here lol. Looking forward to finally getting it just right, and inked for life, hence the caution with it.

So tomorrow is a colour only day and the scroll can stay blank for now
Cheers to anyone and everyone who has helped.

Snazy

Any joy on this mate lol
Can you tell im keen.

Obviously I respect time difference and importance, so will wait patiently
