Total Enlightenment in Japanese is 解脱 which is read gedatsu. The Japanese word gedatsu meaning "Total Enlightenment" (that is "being liberated from earthly desires and the woes of humankind") is composed of the kanji 解 (read ge) meaning "absolve; understanding; solve" and 脱 (read datsu) meaning "escape; get rid of". Other translations include "deliverance (as in being delivered from earthly bonds)" and "spiritual awakening".

With your order, you will receive everything you need for the perfect Total Enlightenment 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.
