Kanji tattoos are still popular sometimes in the west.
Please feel free to tell us you thoughts and ask us your questions here

Im trying to get a 4 to 6 symbol kanji tattoo on my ribs but im not sure how to make it 100% accurate. in english i would like it to mean something like "live you life and forget the future" or the meaning of "carpe diem"

I cant seem to get an accurate translation in kanji, please help.

Thanks.



Oh and by the way the reason im interested in this type of tattoo is because I had a Japanese economics / culture class and I really liked it and it got me interested in Japan, I just have never had a Japanese language class.

Also i wouldnt mind taking a new direction, it doesnt really have to be the exact translation of "Carpe Diem" but i wouldnt mind a saying like "Live for the moment, forget about the future." or just some saying in Japanese that means that.

Been researching for you, friend.
Nothing real worthwhile yet.. they don't seem to have a "carpe diem" .. have a few similar but not real cool in writing!!
Will keep trying and maybe the other guys will come up with something..
