make sure to get a Japanese person to write this on you or the letters will almost definitely come out wrong
Honestly, mate, this is going to end in tears.
Why do you need to get something in Japanese, a language I’m guessing you don’t personally understand? Why not in English?
Seriously consider the answer to that question. Is there an actual reason that makes sense? Or is it just because kanji is strange and exotic and oriental, and therefore cool solely because you don’t understand it?
Hello there! I’m assuming this is for a tattoo, I am a tattoo artist in Tokyo. The most common Japanese Kotowaza (sayings) That I reccomend to clients that want a cool saying are;
馬鹿害人- The beauty of nature transends the earthly realm of men and 宫保鸡丁- Literally; All animals have their place upon this green earth, we must not desecrate the yin yang of this holy relationship.

Google ことわざ and 故事成語 and you can find a whole bunch of them.
Wild guess, you aren’t learning Japanese and want a tattoo?
