What is the symbol for faith?


I would like to get faith in Japanese for a tattoo. This is what I’ve seen.
“信” and “信頼“ What is the difference between the two?




I believe that "信" has the meaning of trust or believing in something, for
example:

> 妖精を信じてるのか。  
>  Do you believe in fairies?

Whereas "信頼" is the word I would use for a more "serious" kind of trust, for
example:

> 私は医者を完全に信頼している。  
>  I have complete trust in my doctor.

If you want the term "faith" in a religious sense for your tattoo I would look
into "信仰" instead. Another example:

> 母はキリスト教を信仰している。  
>  My mother believes in Christianity.

I took all of these examples from
[Jisho.org](https://jisho.org/word/%E4%BF%A1%E4%BB%B0), a place I would
recommend you consult before getting your tattoo!
