How would you write "jasmine" in kanji?

i'm planning of getting a tattoo of the name "jasmine". how would you write that name in kanji?





i already have the katakana for it: ジャスミン








(for japanese speakers only!)

How would you write "jasmine" in kanji?
Strange to say, Japanese commonly uses the word "jasumin' written in katakana, as you have it above, for jasmine. However, it can be written in kanji as 茉莉, pronounced matsuri. .

Reply:if you are looking for the japanese word for jasmine (like the flower) you can use 茉莉 (matsuri) or just the kanji or just 茉 which carries the meaning of jasmine. i think it is more popular to use the katakana for it though. but if you want the kanji to only SOUND like the name jasmine in english, you can pick any kanji you want to make up the name as long as they carry the right sounds/readings. Make sure to know the meaning of the kanji though. You don't want it to sound like JAZUMIN but then have some ugly meaning when you read it.
