Adaptable (tekiou)

Scroll to see all 5 Japanese Adaptable tattoo designs

Here we offer 5 different hand-brushed Japanese Adaptable tattoo designs by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. For these Adaptable tattoo designs the fonts are different, but the characters and the meaning are the same. So order the style you like - the meaning is the same for each design.

Adaptable in Japanese is 適応 which is read tekiou. The Japanese word tekiou meaning "Adaptable" also translates as "accommodation; conformity" and is composed of the kanji 適 (read teki) meaning "suitable; capable; qualified" and 応 (read ou) meaning "apply; reply; accept".

This design reminds us to adapt when possible and, perhaps when necessary, accept that which cannot be changed.

With your order, you will receive everything you need for the perfect Adaptable in Japanese Tattoo. Your design comes as an Adobe PDF file which means it will print exactly as Master Takase brushed the design and, of course, it includes the line art (also called a stencil) which your tattoo artist must have to properly ink the design.

The Adobe PDF file completely documents the design and contains everything your tattoo artist needs to properly ink the design. Your tattoo artist does not need to know Japanese.
