I am going to get a tattoo. I know that I want a strength symbol as the tattoo but the problem is I don't know which one to get. I was looking at some japanese and celtic symbols but that is all I am really working with right now. I want one that has a deep meaning on why the symbol stands for strength and maybe one with a good history behind it

Can OT please help me with this?

Japanese symbols are always the best way to go when you want a new tat.

You'll only see the coolest of cats wearing them.

Translation is no biggie either. Online translators always give proper meanings.

 Do it. You can find out what it is later and think it's even more awesome.

Get this one:

Or this combo (you could use just the first character if you really wanted to):

子供

Or better yet, go for this combo IF YOU'RE MAN ENOUGH:

小さい女の子

I don't understand why people ask others what kind of tattoo they should get. You don't have any emotional connection to the symbols you don't know a damn thing about.

The only exception is something like rawson's thread because he was merely looking for suggestions on text/language but he actually knew and felt a personal connection with the meaning of his quote.

Is it really the Japanese symbol you want? Cause honestly those things are trendy as all hell. And a few people I know who got one as their first tattoo, have since regreted it, and are looking to get it removed. Maybe something along the lines of an original picture, or small graphic of some kind. Just a suggestion

I bet they accidentally got a tat of Female, or Child, or Little Girl when they thought they were getting something else.

This. I really despise Asian lettered tattoos. And dragons... so cliche. And they look tacky. As a matter of fact, I dont like tattoos in general. I prefer the clean look. No need to act macho and hide behind silly tattoos.

dude,

tattoos should be a personal thing. you should NEVER allow someone else to choose what you have.

YOU and you alone have to live with it tattooed on your arm. and as such, choices should be made by you and no one else.

But,

If you want my two penneth, the japanese koi or koi-dragon is a symbol of strength and overcoming struggle and adversity

I would suggest the emblem of the Finnish Airforce, it is rather interesting and it certainly requires a fair bit of courage to wear.

Finnish AF Flag

I would like to again state that this is the flag of the Finnish Airforce and has nothing to do with the German govenment of the second Wold War.

If you don't mind me asking, what ethinticity are you? People sometimes get tatoos to feel related to their roots, somehow. A Filipino who has lived abroad would get "strength" written in the ancient Filipino script , a Chinese-American would get it in Chinese, an Indian would get the word in Sanskrit, etc. You could go with the language your blood line ancestors used, so that your tatoo has a more personal meaning.

I would recommend this one.
