Japanese Symbols
Japanese is a blend from three basic writings: kanji,
hiragana nad katakana. They are all used simultaneously but with a
special role in this language.
As tattoos these signs are very popular, because one can express a lot
with just one sign. On this website you find the means to translate your
own japanese tattoo.
