Kanji was
originated from Chinese Characters.
Kanji is the term for Chinese characters that are used in the Japanese
language. There are two different types of characters that are used in
written Japanese: kana, which includes the types of writing known as
hiragana and katakana, and kanji. All written Japanese evolved from
written Chinese, and were modified to create the different sounds of the
Japanese language. Kanji in Japanese are typically characters from the
Chinese language that have been adapted to mean Japanese words. The
meanings in Chinese and Japanese can be the same but pronounced
differently, or they may have entirely different meanings. Some kanji
were developed in Japan and are not seen in the Chinese language at all.
Still other kanji are written in different forms but have the same
meaning.
Japanese
Kanji Tattoos VS Chinese Symbol Tattoos.
The Kanji Tattoos you have seen in the tattoo parlor or anywhere else
are actually Chinese Symbol Tattoos, when you are planning to get a
Kanji Tattoo, Choosing Chinese Symbol Tattoos instead of Japanese Kanji
Tattoos, Why? Japanese Kanji only have hundreds of writing symbols which
evolved from written Chinese Symbols, You can not get whatever you want
to express by using Japanese Kanji. Whereas, Chinese Symbols have about
4000 year history and there are 47,035 Chinese symbols in Chinese
Kangxi Dictionary. Put it simple, You can get whatever you want to
express in Chinese symbols.
How to Get a perfect Kanji Tattoo
you truly deserve
My Name is Yingying, I am a Chinese tattoo artist, and have been helping
the western people get their Kanji tattoos for three years. Kanji have a
complex beauty as well as individual meanings. People who get Kanji
tattoos are often drawn to this. Unfortunately, the flip-side is that
there are a lot of Kanji tattoo Mistakes. I have personally seen such
elementary mistakes as Kanji being tattooed backward and meant something
else other than intended. My goal is to help people explore the beauty
and complexity of Kanji safe in the knowledge that they are dealing with
the professional. Why many western people make mistakes with their
kanji tattoos, the main reason is because they made no preparation
before inking and just walked into a tattoo parlor without knowing what
they would get. And then their Chinese tattoos became the permanent
source to embarrass them. Yes, they can get their tattoo removed, but
removing unwanted tattoos is a very expensive, lengthy and painful
ordeal! You are wise to research your best possible options before going
through with it.
First: you need to find a pro to do the
translation, instead of anyone who speaks Chinese. The Chinese symbol
(Kanji) has a time span of 4000 years and a geography span across
countries like China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It simply takes knowledge
and expertise to do the translation well.
Second: the
Chinese Symbols need to be custom designed by writing them into Chinese
calligraphy. Your body deserves Chinese calligraphy art, NOT kanji
writing! Chinese calligraphy is not just Chinese kanji writing, neither
just writing well. It is an art that can display spirits. People can
feel the mood, feeling, thought from the calligraphy. Having a Chinese
calligraphy tattoo is a love and a respect of yourself. Moreover, Custom
designed kanji Tattoos also include stencil outline. Most people don't
realize that every tattoo design has a matching stencil. To apply
tattoos on the skin, the tattoo artist needs both a good clear reference
of the actual design, and well drawn stencils (line drawings) as the
"blueprint" for the actual tattoo. When inking, your tattoo artist will
use stencil outlines to trace the artwork onto your body. Stencil
outlines are vital for inking kanji as it can prevent tattooists from
making mistakes while inking.
