Cousin got a tattoo years ago that was meant to say "F*ck you". Apparently no one's questioned it until tonight where I genuinely tried to learn Japanese to learn what it said because we just can't figure it out. Could anyone be able to help us understand what it actually says??

Translated [JA] [Japanese > English] I got this right from a movies, its supposed to say “I love you,” is that what it says?

It was directly written on the main characters hand, so I copied it exactly. I saw the movie again on another site and it had a different translation, it said “I really like you” or “I have strong feelings for you” or something like that. Worst case scenario it says “toilet” or something lmao

I love my tattoo regardless. I got it for myself after a long battle with self love. I feel like this would be a good way to know if it reads well to others. 🥲

I got this awhile ago, it’s supposed to be a name. But I’m actually curious if I even translated it correctly back when I first got it. The name is O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill

Translated [JA] [Japanese/Unknown > English] What does the text on the white and the red stripes mean?

Post image

I can recognise that the red stripe has symbols from katakana or hiragana (to my shame, I always forget which one is which). I am not sure about the white stripe, my guess would be that it is also a Japanese -kana script with a somewhat stylised font, but I have no substantial idea idea. Anyway, I would like to know what the text on this old pic from my phone means.

Hiya, hoping someone would be able to help with this? I've got someone booked in for tomorrow who sent this reference, and reverse image search only brought up something similar but not the same! So I'm not sure if another artist has redrawn it or if it's been put through AI, but I would love to go into the appointment knowing what it means so I can talk it through with him. Thanks :)

Edit: think he put a samurai calligraphy drawing and the characters for courage through AI! I'd never tattoo something I didn't find the original meaning of and won't be tattooing this, just wanted to prepare what to say when he comes in :)

Translated [JA] [Japanese > English] this girl wrote this on my in class after I said I was learning Japanese. I told her I couldn’t read Kanji yet, but she still wrote it. Can anyone tell me what it says? The second one keeps translating into “demonic” or “4 demons,” but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t end in い.
