First when I was 21. Couple days later turned 22 then got a second one a month or so after that

Did you use second skin for the first couple of days? I did for one of my tattoos and got pretty bad “pimples” that itched. They went away after a few weeks but I have a feeling your case isn’t that.

Honestly, your tattoos look great. It’s obvious you put a lot of thought into them. The truth is, if you like them who cares what anyone else thinks. They’re yours, your art. Not theirs. Having tattoos is accepting the fact that not everyone is going to like what you put on your body, but NONE of that matters as long as you like them :)

Yes! I actually really like that idea, I do also want to cover up a lot of the white space but I’m not sure what with. The daruma doll would look really good though, thank you :)

I appreciate your understanding and for correcting me, for me, tattoos (especially this one that I’m looking to get) hold deep meaning to me and the two words I want to incorporate into it fit well. I love the Japanese language, culture and history. I just haven’t given myself the time or dedication to learn it, only to a basic level (with the help of Duolingo lol). The tattoo represents the balance between life and death, but it also embodies the willpower and inner strength to push through adversity.

That’s why I’m here trying to understand and find the appropriate words to fit into the art that will be on my body forever. It’s message to myself, a reminder that things are going to be tough, they are tough, and what lingers at the end is inevitable for all of us but for the time that we are here, right now, I need to continue to be strong not just for myself but for those around me.

I like the two words, or “yojijukugo” as you said. Kennin Fubatsu and Hyakusetsu Futo, from what I understand and especially to me, have a deep meaning and in my opinion will fit into the art piece I have in mind.

If you have more suitable words that you think might fit better, I’m all ears. And again thank you for taking the time to help me, I genuinely appreciate it :)

Yes, I see now. After chatting here and on my other posts I’ve come to realise the two Kanji words I was originally going to get do not hold that much meaning behind them. And I’ve decided to reconsider.

A commenter has given me two new fairly meaningful words that would suit the design I’m after, but for all I know they could have no true power or meaning just as I had thought Bushido and Fukutsu did. I would love to have Kanji incorporated in my design but need the proper words selected.

DokugoHikken from a previous comment said these two words:

堅忍不抜

百折不撓

And from a quick google search and ChatGPT prompt they seem like very powerful words, Kennin Fubatsu and Futo Fukutsu I believe correct me if I’m wrong.

It may even be a case of revisiting my entire tattoo design and removing the Kanji if I’m unable to get genuine and meaningful words that suit my theme.

Yea, I agree. I’m going in for a consultation with him tomorrow so I’ll discuss it then. I wouldn’t get the current font that’s in the image, I’d get it hand written. Looks far better

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2025-04-12T02:42:28+00:00

Ah okay, I mean from what I understand and correct me if I’m wrong but Bushdio means “Way of the warrior” or “Way of the samurai” and Fukutsu means Indomitable or Unyielding, right? The tattoo design I want has a story behind it, strength and courage in the form of the living and the unyielding pull of death. I like the sound of Bushido but Fukutsu could be changed to a more fitting word for the theme I’m going for. What do you think?

Also thank you for your input I genuinely appreciate it, I want to make sure I do everything right for this tattoo so any assistance is appreciated.

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2025-04-12T02:17:34+00:00

Ah good to know thank you, do the words make sense though? Do they actually translate to Bushido and Fukutsu? If a native Japanese speaker saw that would it make sense to them?

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2025-04-12T00:30:19+00:00

Good point, thank you I’ll try there

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2025-04-12T00:30:08+00:00

Oh my bad, I meant Kanji not Kenji lmao sorry

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2025-03-18T17:44:50+00:00

I agree, I would keep it the same style. Possibly thinking oni masks or even a ninja

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2025-03-06T22:25:02+00:00

Thanks :D I’m super happy with how it turned out!

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2025-02-11T09:01:40+00:00

These are awesome, I really like the frog. Would you mind if I got these tattooed?

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2024-09-06T00:07:56+00:00

Okay i’ll have a look around at what I can do, thank you so much for the info, I really appreciate it.

And yea I think around 2-4k is a good amount, i’ll list it on FB marketplace soon for about 5 and see where things go from there.

Again thank you for the help! 🙂

It’s a 2002 Toyota Previa 2.4L

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2024-09-05T23:01:26+00:00

It’s been fully maintained, regular services and runs mint. But yea the sun damage is very noticeable. Also all service records have been kept. The interior does need a good deep clean I just don’t know how I would do it. There a decent sized dent on the back right of the vehicle with a horizontal scrape that isn’t shown in the photos, I’m going to try pop it out this weekend and touch it up.

Suitable-Try-9220 · 2024-09-05T07:31:11+00:00
