Thanks Sean, I found the character for country. BTW the source I'm using is: http://www.interq.or.jp/japan/se-inoue/e_japanese1_2.htm and a lot of Google (image searched Karate Kanji).

I'm not tattooing it, but am going to put it on a website which promotes karate in england, and I'd really like to get it right. Could be a cool tattoo 'tho, and hopefully one that can't be mis-read as anything unfortunate!

The next question... why would "ei-kuni kara-te" be preferable to "ei kara-te"? Isn't the 'ei' chracter on its own enough?

Cheers. 


Please don't tattoo it on yourself.

Anyway, it would be "eikoku," which is a way of saying "England." If I remember correctly, the guy who said "eikoku" would be better is a native speaker, so I'll leave it to him to explain why.
