    Not so fast there Geijinpunch...

    It could also mean... Decree or Destiny (Mei or Myou) or even Lord or Words of a ruler (Mikoto).

    It hard to read the same kanji, but it looks like...

    First one
    Yasa - Gentle or Affectionate
    Yuu - Superiority

    Second One
    Karasu - Crow or Raven

    Mine is the most common form though. W/o context, anything can me anything.

    What is this word?

    "gentle crow" + "life" or "yua" (read "your") "life" or "order"?

    you could have also asked what XYZ stands for. :katamari:

    One of the those tattoos where they tell you what it is but they lie.

    really reads " urge of the goat molesting"

    gajin was correct as to what my understanding of the word was, it is 'life' or inochi.

    and as i recall, its second meaning is to do with having a secret lover, apparently it used to be tattoed behind the ear to signify hidden love

    bonus points for guessing the literal tranlation into a western name (which is my wife's)

    as for gajin's prize.. err.. hows about a sequence of numbers?

    That's a bit crap!

    "No I have not, how dare you even suggest..... hang on, get off my ears, leave them alone... I protes.......oh!"

    "You HAVE! LOOK! A secret lover tattoo"

    "Damn, that was meant to be a secret"

    Are you talking about a western name transliterated into Kanji, or a Japanese/Chinese name written as a Kanji? In any case, I'm guessing Mei / May.

    lmao!

    yeah it does seem a bit daft, and maybe i remeber it wrong, but im sure it something like that

    anyways, im afraid ccovell is wrong with the name of my wife (or maybe my japanese friend who designed the tattoo for me was wrong and i married the wrong woman!!!)

    and fester, i know what you mean, you could go into a tattoo shop and they could put anything on your arm, hence why i did my research first and got a friend of mine who is japanese to make sure it was right and do the kanji for me

    Most likely neither are wrong (or both are right). There's a lot of room when using kanji for names. Many people go their whole lives w/ nobody being able to pronounce their name properly (w/o being told).
