Questions about Anders in Japanese
How do you write Anders in Japanese?
Anders is written アナス in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Anders would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written アンダース (as written in Japan) and アンデシュ (as written in Japan).

Is 愛菜珠 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 愛菜珠 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

愛菜珠 has 34 strokes in total (愛: 13, 菜: 11, 珠: 10). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 愛菜珠 as a tattoo?
Each character in 愛菜珠 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Anders”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アナス) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
