I highly suggest that you DO NOT use any online translation tools to find the symbols that you want. My husbands family is Japanese and his cousin got a tattoo on her back that she thought was Japanese for something...I forget what she wanted it to say. Anyway, she was so excited that she went and showed my husbands grandma (who is 100% Japanese) and come to find out that her tattoo meant absolutely nothing! Please do extensive research before getting anything done!!
