LIC, I know what you mean, before I got tattooed I read someone\'s opinion that taking kanji is stupid, because it\'s "in" or whatever, and so many people do it.
But I decided that I would do it anyway, because no matter how many people abuse them, kanji is what is most "me". It tells the world (or doesn\'t, since it\'s pretty much hidden

) about my love for Japanese culture. And since I cannot and do not want to change that, I chose kanji.
Also, I actually know what my kanji mean, when those who just do it cause it\'s "cool" may not

And they have a huge meaning to me. Budo is how I want to live my life.

There\'s other symbolism too... Martial path is painful, and lasts forever.

And you are probably right. I should post a pic, incase someone\'s actually interested... I mean... I probably am not the first with a budo tattoo

But right now I think I\'ll stick with this one I have.
