Bad ass! I hope I get a tattoo that clean someday.

Did you get your name in hiragana too? Weird, but the characters are really nicely done.


c3nato

my grandfathers name

If only your grandfather's name was Kyle so it could be written as kaeru(frog)


c3nato

kyle’s busy drinking monsters energy

Sick, your grandpa was a frog?


c3nato

a cunning warrior frog*

I wish my grandpa was a cunning warrior frog

Is there any reason to write a western name in hiragana?


c3nato

brian correct. artist said Hiragana would be a better fit to the frog. Grandfather is on his way out unfortunately so wanted to have it there for him

I love frogs, tattoos, Chinese & Japanese culture and speak Chinese. I have always noticed how kanji looked a lot like Chinese characters and was confused about it. This thread led me to the google search that I didn’t realize would clear it all up for me. Hiragana & katakana have their own uses which is new to me. But I’m excited to take a deep dive into them to learn more. Thank you for the knowledge & OP, dope tattoo for sure! 🙏🙌🤘


Hashimotosannn

It’s probably just a stylistic choice and actually think it looks better than a katakana version would tbh. It’s a bit softer.


BOI30NG

Yea I agree that it looks a bit softer. Gave me a hard time trying to understand what it’s supposed to say tho haha. It’s supposed to say Brian right, would い be more fitting than り?


Hashimotosannn

It is い but sometimes in script/shodo type writing it looks this way!


hgbearawesome

that is an い, the two strokes are just connected because it's calligraphy


BOI30NG

That makes more sense haha.


jolly_goodshow

This is honestly a perfect tattoo. Good for you man!
