Never seen the first one. Chinese only? Looks like someone improperly wrote the kanji for 天.

後悔 is the most common form of regret. There are a number of negative characters but none that I've seen go with it. If this is oging to be for a tatoo, I would highly advise against it.

You will not find this in kanji-only form and not get completely laughed at by Japanese people, and of course, white otaku that know Japanese alike.

I agree about going for a Crusader tat rather than Kanji which, for all you know, could say 'd*ck head'.

Really, don't bother.

so, there are no symbols for "no regret", not even for the meaning of it? strange...

As a general rule, it's not wise to write something permanently on your skin that you can't read.

Laughed at??? No, they'll run away screaming, thinking you're a gangster. Because only bad people get tattoos.

後悔しない。 But it really means "I don't regret _____". Does not sound cool or trendy at all, and would not be the subtitle of a game. Sticking one of the negating characters in front of it (不、非、無、未) does not work in this case. Chinese maybe different. I don't know how anyone understands that fucking language though.

You could just write "no regret" phoenetically in katatana, which would be: ノレグレツ or something like that.

This does mean "no regrets" in Chinese.

But the first character is the simplied chinese version of 無.

In sum:

无 is simplied version chinese meaning "none", this writing is used in PRC.

無 is the traditional version chinese (exact same word 无) as used in ancient china, and currently in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

ie, think of something else!

kanji/katakana/burka-burka tattoos are cool as hell, but like someone else said if you dont know the language or in what context youve taken it from it could say anything... but then again no-one else will so i guess its not such a big deal anyways :shrug:
