Kanji help needed

I'm looking for some help from someone who understands the Japanese language and can write kanji.

For a while now I have been going through the process of designing a tattoo, full sleeve.  One of the elements in it will be a scroll with two concepts presented in kanji.  I'd appreciate some help getting these two concepts in a written form so I can discuss them with the artist who is working with me on this project.

Re: Kanji help needed

Hey Airin,  I had some tattoos done this summer. I wanted an old form of Chinese calligraphy known as Grass style
but I couldn't find anyone who could do it so I designed them myself.

This is a link to Joey Pang's FB page. She's a rising young tattoo artist in Hong Kong. I love her work.

Go to her Calligraphy photo albums.

I think some of her work will stimulate some great ideas.

Off to eat some Turkey. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Hi Erin

One of my shakuhachi students in London is a tattoo master (studied in Japan). Perhaps he can help you as well...
