serindePondering a second tattoo--this time perhaps in a place where I can see it. I am toying with the idea of a very small one on the back of my wrist, for the same general idea as those "WWJD" bracelets, only with a symbol of vastly greater meaning to me.
The problem is, I don't know whether to get the kanji for "ai" (harmony) or "ki" (strength). I kind of need to be reminded of both, when reminders I require. I considered, for about five seconds, getting one on each wrist; but...No. Just No.
Edit: I realize that getting any kind of Asian-language symbol as a tattoo will usually be +30 on the "Are You A Complete Tool?" quiz, but I actually know what I'm looking at and I do know some Japanese and it is genuinely meaningful to me, so there.
