All About G

And I want EVERYONE’S opinion on this. You can be reading this blog and hate my guts for all I care, but I want EVERYONE’S opinion, no questions asked, because this is one of those things where once I’ve made up my mind, I can’t go back to change it.

So, backstory: I definitely want my name (not my full name, Regina, but my more commonly used nickname, Gina) as a tattoo. I’m getting it in Japanese katakana writing. So, here’s my question;

Vertical? Or…

Horizontal?

I want anyone who reads this to leave a comment, giving me their opinion on which way I should get it. So far, the score is Vertical – 2; Horizontal – 0. Maybe I’ll go with majority rules in the end or maybe I won’t, but I wanted to see what you all think. I’m leaning towards vertical, because it is the traditional writing style in Japan, after all.

Oh, before I forget; this tattoo (my name in katakana) will be on my lower back, the right side. So keep that in mind when making your choice.

If you all want, I can post up the image of the other tattoo I want to get. It’s the kanji for strength (methinks it’s known as ‘ryoku’ in Japan, but I’m not sure, because there are several different ways to write strength, not mention several different meanings, in Japan). [EDIT] the length of it will be approximately the length of my point finger, and it’s width will be approximately the length of my thumb’s proximal phalanx.

Thanks!
