I'm an old man now but when I turned 18 I ran to the first tattoo parlor as fast as I could and sat down in the chair and a very nice Japanese man asked what I wanted. I said I wanted a unique Japanese symbol that means honor and respect. He inscribed a super cool version of "Takashi". After all these years I still love it.
My Grandfather was named Takashi, he was pretty cool, definitely lived up to his name. It's awful that I'll never know the kanji of his name to get an accurate interpretation, but at least I can get a general idea of what his name meant :D.
