Your Questions About Japanese Tattoo Symbols For Family

1st tattoo – help please?

hi, hoping someone can help. I have some really clear ideas to what i want for my 1st tat, mid back, to inc the following – my star sign (aries), 4 stars for my brothers and sisters, and i would like help with the following: a symbol meaning “family” – or japanese, chinese lettering etc and “Grandparent” – is for my grampy who passed away last month – any suggestions of how this may look / anything else I need to consider would be appriciated.
I would also like to include something to symbolize my dog “Merlin” and did think about getting his paw print tattoo‘d but think perhaps this would be better on its own on my foot as my 2nd??
Thanks

I’m getting 2 tattoos within the next few days. I would like to get a third to sort of remember people that

I’ve lost. My mom, my aunt, my great grandmother, my uncle, and just yesterday my 19 yo. cousin. All of these people with the exception of my great grandmother died at very young ages. I was very close to all of them. Any ideas on a tattoo to help remember them. I don’t want family. Right now, the other two words will be in Japanese symbol for the words “accept” and “forgive.” Anything that can be tied in with those? Just any suggestions would help. Thank you all.

Symbol meaning family ?

Im looking for a symbol that means family so that my siblings and I can get it tattooed. We dont want any chinese/japanese characters or a coat of arms.

Thanks for your help !

What should I get??????

About me:
I am my own person, I keep to myself. I do my own thing. I like music. I’m catholic and proud of it.

I want to get a tattoo on my wrist. I’m thinking maybe a cross, the words Child of God, or a japanese symbol for either family or strength.
But I need more ideas! Anyone?

Ideas for a HAWAIIAN COMMERATIVE tattoo?

I’m in a dillema right now and i’m trying
to get as much help as i can.
Most recently i’ve been thinking of a way to
commemorate my grandparents.
I’m a mix of filipino, hawaiian & japanese and wanted to
find a way to ingrate the hawaiian and japanese together.
The one way that i have my heart set on is
by getting a tattoo of our last name, HASHIMOTO.
I wanted it to be in like hawaiian lettering or symbols.

I met a guy who had the last name as me before
&& he had HASHIMOTO done in some kind of
special lettering or symbols.
I wanted to know if anyone knew a site that would
translate that into Hawaiian.
Our family is already slowly loosing them
(one to cancer and the other to parkinson’s)

I wanted to get it for my 21st birthday in December
of this year but i don’t know if i’ll have that much time,
my mind is now set on getting this before they pass on.

Anyone know a good site? Have any pics?
Time is of essence so any help would be helpful!
