Help with Japanese for a tattoo - I swear there’s a good reason!


If anyone could help me make sure I don’t make a stupid white girl mistake and
get the wrong thing tattooed on me that would be very appreciated!

I had two cats who died very recently and I’d like to get a tatto in their
memory. I named them Tsuki and Yuki when I was 7 years old, and I would love
to be able to have a tattoo of their names in Japanese kanji, along with 2 cat
silhouettes.

From looking on the internet I have found 雪 for Yuki, as I do remember
choosing it with the intention of it meaning ‘snow’. And I have found 月 for
Tsuki as again I remember choosing it with the intention of it meaning
“moon/lunar”

If anyone could help me out I would honestly be so so so grateful, these cats
meant a lot to me.




You are not making a mistake as both Kanji are correct: 雪 Snow and 月 Moon. In
the future if you want to verify a character I would recommend using jisho to
look it up: <https://jisho.org/>

Good luck!
