    so this doesn't fit together...or is it "no regret" if combined?

    or can anyone give me the correct symbols for "No Regret" ?

    Never seen the first one. Chinese only? Looks like someone improperly wrote the kanji for 天.

    後悔 is the most common form of regret. There are a number of negative characters but none that I've seen go with it. If this is oging to be for a tatoo, I would highly advise against it.

    You will not find this in kanji-only form and not get completely laughed at by Japanese people, and of course, white otaku that know Japanese alike.

    I agree about going for a Crusader tat rather than Kanji which, for all you know, could say 'd*ck head'.

    Really, don't bother.

    As a general rule, it's not wise to write something permanently on your skin that you can't read.

    Laughed at??? No, they'll run away screaming, thinking you're a gangster. Because only bad people get tattoos.

    Guess I'm bad.

    後悔しない。 But it really means "I don't regret _____". Does not sound cool or trendy at all, and would not be the subtitle of a game. Sticking one of the negating characters in front of it (不、非、無、未) does not work in this case. Chinese maybe different. I don't know how anyone understands that fucking language though.

    You could just write "no regret" phoenetically in katatana, which would be: ノレグレツ or something like that.
