Twisted Evil Hey all, new here.....so be gentle lol... Wink
Im preparing for my 6th tattoo and looking to have a old, small half moon on my right shoulder covered up with something with a bit more meaning....got the concept.... the phrase '[i] Im not what happened to me, im what i choose to become'[/i] in japanese going from my right shoulder weaving across my back.... with light shading around and 6 flowers to represent my family...
SOOO can anyone recommend a good online translation site and where can i get ideas for flower meanings.....or if any of u guys know the meanings even better.... i want the flowers to signify, strength , courage, and undying love.... i dont think i want a huge mix of flowers as that may be a bit messy and i want it to flow, so maybe 1 that can incorporate as much of the above as possible.
any suggestions would be great.....cheers , em xx

Wondering if you ever came to a decision? I recently went through the same thing. Initially I had gotten two cherries near each shoulder blade and was wondering what to place between them. Cherry blossoms have become so common that I didnt want them and hibiscus are really pretty too, but again its been done over and over. I looked at a few things and decided to go with saffrons..a spice lol, I know but the flower is so colorful, its a beautiful piece and I love it SOOO much!

Let me know what you went with?

You may want to check out samurai-translators.com which I happen to work for.

We can offer translations into Japanese from between 1 and 25 words for the price of a link or bookmark to our site and therefore not have to open your wallet/purse.

Good luck
