Ideas Of Tattoos About Kanji Designs
The greater the mystery about the history of a tattoo design, the more interest generated by those of us exploring this subject.
And one of the most mysterious parts of the world is the far east. I am talking about the home of the Samurai warriors depicted in all those dubbed with English sub-titles movies from Japan. Anytime one sees the writings of Japanese in print, you can not help but wonder just exactly what the characters meaning is.
However, regardless of the popularity of this type of language, there are still many people who just make up their own meaning to the symbols rather than to seek out the real story.
Suppose you decided you liked a particular group of words or Kangi designs and put them permanently on your body in the form of a tattoo. And later you were informed by someone more knowledgeable, that it was a form of profanity or something very distasteful. What can you do now but feel like a real dope for not finding out first before getting the tattoo. A word to the wise would be to do your homework FIRST, then if you were still ok with it, get the tattoo done.
Experience tells us there are only three prerequisites to learn about before getting a Japanese tattoo character placed on your body.
- Learn the history behind each particular character.
The beginnings of this writing style comes from the far east near Hong Kong and was adapted to the Japanese culture. Like many things, as time passed, the language and the symbols used changed many times over to reflect the distinct differences of the Japanese people. The characters used today contain over 40,000 symbols in their alphabet, but approximately 1,500 symbols are currently actually used by tattoo artists.
Since people in the western world are so intrigued with these designs, it remains one of the most popular tattoo stylings used in today's modern world.
- You need to explore the unique origins of each symbol.
Just look at the characters and you will probably decide in your own mind its meaning. But would you be correct? Suppose it had an altogether different meaning. This calls for a little research on your part to determine its true meanings and choose the one that fits your personality.
- Find out which design best expresses who you are.
We can see these symbols everyday on TV or in movies and believe they look exciting, but do we know exactly what their real meaning is. Many people have these designs on their body now and think they know the origins of them, but supposed they are wrong. They look good, even if no one actually knows what they really mean. Maybe some people are content with not knowing, but would that describe you?
The average person thinks about the history of Japan or the Orient and the histories of each, but what about the history of you and what you stand for. What Japanese word or phrase best depicts that person? Decide what image you like the best and be sure you agree with the meaning behind it. Does that meaning actually reflect who you are?
If it does than you are ready to make a decision on what design to place on your body. Take your time, refer to the information in this article and let's see how you do.
-Good Luck
