忍耐 nintai Patience

忍耐 is patience of the enduring kind: bearing hardship or pain and holding on through it. To be very patient is 忍耐強い (nintaizuyoi).

The Japanese word 忍耐 meaning "Patience" is composed of the kanji 忍 (read nin) meaning "endure; bear; put up with" and 耐 (read tai) meaning "endure; enduring".

Each design is Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase's hand-brushed calligraphy of the word or phrase on this page, delivered as a PDF you can print. Every PDF includes the line art, so a tattoo artist or a craftsperson can work from the outline as well as the brushed image.

Your purchase includes a personal-use license: use the design as a tattoo reference, frame it, engrave it, print it for yourself, or make it into a gift. For more information see Licensing, which also covers commercial-use options that may be purchased separately.

Your PDF is available for download the moment your order completes, and a copy is attached to your emailed receipt.

If you need your design again later, ask us for it and we will send it.
