Helping with a Japanese word

Hello :)

I want to make a tatoo with the name "Dan" or "Dani".

Can someone help me out how to write that in japanese?

Thanks you!

If you want it written out in katakana (phonetic writing used for non-Japanese names), Dan would be: ダン (da - n)
and
Dani would be:　ダニー (da - ni- i)

I would make sure that you include the long bar at the end of "Dani" (the second syllable pronounced as a long "ee") because without the long sound the Japanese meaning is "tick/mite" (the bug, I mean).

Please think twice before getting any tattoo in a language you don't understand, and IF YOU MUST, be sure you know a tattooist who knows the language, so they know the right nice-looking font do do it in, and so they don't make any mistake like omitting any dots and bars...

These read as 'dani': 壁蝨 or 駄荷, but before you start liking them, the first one translates as tick or mite, the second one as a horse load. I'm just pointing it out as I've seen kanji tattoos of this calibre where neither artist nor customer had any idea what they inked on the skin. :-)
If you must, go with AK-san's recommendation.
