I know, I know, LOL KANJI TATTOO, but this is calligraphy I did while I was exchange studenting it up in Japan for the summer of '04 with my brother and my BFF former roommate Makiko; it means comfort/enjoyment/fun/music and I like it a lot, even if it is probably not as pretty as it'd look if someone who actually knew how to do Japanese calligraphy had written it, but this way it is fun and meaningful and stuff.

So, suggestions? Size and placement? SHOULD I ADD ANYTHING TO IT OR JUST GET IT LIKE THAT? My artistic skills are equivalent to a person who really really sucks at art and I've never had a tattoo before.

Well, making it all wavy on the sides was how I was told to write it by the awesome old Japanese people teaching me how to write it out and crap, which made more sense when I found this variation of the character -- yeah, I don't want to look like a total idiot. BUT SINCE I CAN'T HELP MY SHITTY HANDWRITING that's why I was thinking of maybe adding more to it so it wouldn't be the only thing look all stupid on me. But I have no art skills so I can't think of anything good.

Ohhhh, I see now. So it's the non-simplified version... I'm not familiar with the old-school versions of kanji, so no wonder I had trouble recognizing it. Hmmm. I DUNNO.
