does anyone have a suggestion on how to change "soldier" to something more peaceful? i got it on my neck when i was 18. i now would rather have "peace" in chinese rather than "die!!!"

it does mean soldier...like you know, the equivalence of pawns in chinese chess.

but i've never heard it being used in that context outside of chinese chess...mostly it's about death...

In Japanese 卒 (reading:sotsu) is part of graduation. It also stands for soldier, private, and die. The ancient meaning being someone who has just graduated from basic, therefore in war they'd be the first in. (thus the reading of 'die')

兵卒 (heisotsu) is the actual word for soldier (as in private.)

Bob is right.
the japanese kanji for soldier is 軍人(this is also the symbol for soldier in traditional chinese)。 Then there is the word for warrior　武士。 I too speak Japanese and my boyfriend has this tattoo on his wrist since he joined the army earlier this year.

How do I know? Because I speak Japanese. I also confirmed it s by looking it up in a Japanese dictionary, and in a Chinese dictionary.

ANYTIME YOU GET A TATTOO, ALWAYS BE SURE YOU KNOW EXCTLY WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING ON YOUR BODY, AND WHAT IT MEANS. A LOT OF SCREW UPS NOW..

Unfortunately, that character by itself doesn't mean "soldier" in Chinese or in Japanese. In Japanese, the closest meaning for that single character would be "die."

I love the idea of being able to express your self with a tattoo, or it having a story behind it. And myslef as well am in the army, and have the same tattoo (and love it, I have it on my right hip). I joined the Canadian Forces when I was 17, and I'm not 19.
