The Japanese word fuyō also means "to support" and is the root of 扶養者 (read fuyōsha) meaning "provider; breadwinner; benefactor". In our opinion it is better to use Provide (fuyō) to indicate one is a "provider" or "breadwinner for the family" rather than the more explicit fuyousha. The reason being that Japanese simply appends the kanji者 (read sha) meaning "person" to change it from "provide" to "provider" - however, as the word is describing oneself this sounds redundant. So if you are looking for a tattoo for "provider" we suggest using this design.
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.
