Comment: To be fair, the Mandarin Chinese readings would be 'ma-sen' making a good approximation of 'Mason' - about as good as it gets in Chinese name transliteration. Of course good name characters are good name characters, and it's unfortunate that it's also a native Japanese name with a very different sound. A Japanese speaker with no knowledge of Chinese would probably simply wonder who Umamori is and why you tattooed their name on you. It's a shame people aren't more aware that what makes a good name transliteration in Mandarin will have a different reading but be no less readable to people of other East Asian languages - and the results may not be quite what they were intending. You could say that going in with an attitude of 'I think' or 'maybe' is just asking for trouble.

Comment: You "THINK"???

In Japanese, this is a surname pronounced "Umamori." The characters mean "horse" and "forest." Don't even get me started on how badly they're written.
