FAQ

What is ateji?

Ateji are kanji chosen for their sound rather than meaning — a common, playful way to write foreign names in Japanese.

Is this accurate for a tattoo?

The reading is reliable, but kanji meanings are creative. For a permanent tattoo, confirm the exact characters with a native speaker first.
