Karate-Do (karatedou)

Scroll to see all 16 Japanese Karate-Do tattoo designs

Here we offer 16 different hand-brushed Japanese Karate-Do tattoo designs by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. For these Karate-Do 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.

Karate-Do in Japanese is 空手道 which is read karatedou. The Japanese word karatedou is literally "The Way of Karate" and consists of the word 空手 Karate - Empty Hand (karate) and the kanji 道 (read dou) meaning "the way; teachings".

With your order, you will receive everything you need for the perfect Karate-Do 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.
