Something to note if you are going to get a hanzi/kanji/hangul characters tattooed onto yourself:

First of all:

Hanzi is Chinese.

Kanji is Japanese.

Hangul is Korean.

While Hanzi and Kanji share some of the same characters, the two are not entirely synonymous.

Please be aware of the fake “asian character tattoo sheet” that has been going around. Such as this one. It’s bullshit and while those are actually Hanzi characters, they usually do not mean what the website says they mean.

Hanzi does not work like alphabets. There is no “A”, “B”, “C” character. There are individual words.

If you are getting a tattoo in a language you are unfamiliar (or even if you take basic classes, or have Googled) with, please, please find someone who is reliable and fluent in said language to make sure that your tattoo design says what you want it to say. Here is a blog that is dedicated to gibberish Hanzi tattoos.

Please do not run your phrase through Google translate. Half the time, the translator fucks up. So please don’t.

Happy modding! :)
