They sound great, but what are they? Essentially, Kanji are the Chinese symbols used in Japanese writing.
Given the beauty and grace of such symbols, they are a very popular choice for women seeking to adorn their lower backs with something special.
Whilst some women prefer pictures of butterflies, angels, animals, etc, on their lower back, other women prefer to have something which is more rare: Kanji tattoo symbols.
The great thing about them is that even ordinary words can be made to look fantastic. Unless someone can read Kanji, they also add an air of mystery to your body. When combined with their location on your lower back, the effect is spellbinding!
The key consideration when having any foreign words tattooed onto your skin is to ensure you understand their meaning. If you are not fluent, you must get someone to help you.
If you drawn to Kanji style tattoos, we’d recommend also considering Chinese lettering. Such letters have been around much longer than Kanji and there is an awesome service online which will translate whatever words you want into Chinese. There are various options (depending on how many words you would like translated) and many further options relating to styles and placement. Lots of choice, so check it out now!
