When my friend came over from Japan to stay, she had no idea what it said. It's definatley not the Kanji for dragon (I have since found that out) But I discovered a scroll in the V&A museum in London penned by an 18th Century Japanese Zen Monk, that is free form calligraphy and an exact match to my tat!. The scroll is titled 'Dragon' So now I have a Japanese tatoo that no living Nihonjin can read!

I've been a tattoo expert for many years, and I know that one of the hardest tattoos to get is of Japanese and chinese writing. A friend of mine said not to go to a Caucasian to get this kind of tattoo done; a person who speaks native Japanese is much better with the characters. Hope this helps! Hi.

That's great, I'm bookmarking it. I'm glad they were also confused about the 'supermarket' tattoo. It seems it doesn't mean supermarket at all! Thanks for the hanzismatter blog!
