Nothing wrong with kanji tattoos ( said the man with an arm load of 'em and a dragon plus a phoenix coming up lol) I might suggest using babelfish to get the kanji and then jazz 'em up a bit. Let your son realise that he will be marked for life so he needs to be sure about it. He should go to the best tattoist he can, check out the artist's work, spend 6 months thinking about it and then think again. Ah the absolute stupidity of youth.... Ah the bitterness of old age...
