I hope she doesn't get it off-center.....
In 2013, the japanese community here in my town hosted a japanese festival
lots of friends went there to watch the yosakoi soran/ taiko groups, one of them brought his new girlfriend and wanted to show me her tattoo , which was supposed to be her name, but he wouldnt tell me because he wanted me to figure it out from her tattoo.
She showed me her arm, rather disturbing for me, I was expecting katakana, but instead...
Well she got a 利利案、 in her arm, I said hesitantly, Ririan.
She was like "ohh thats right, Lilian, thats my name. Nothing wrong with the tattoo at all"
I said yeah, lets buy some udon and changed the topic quickly.
Im afraid tattooing ones western name in kanji is a risky business
