Virgo in japanese?

Postby Tiduas » January 25th, 2010 10:10 pm

A friend of mine wants to know make a tatoo for his starsign and when I looked it up it seems I found two ways to write Virgo in japanese.

Which one of them is the best way if he just wants a tatoo of it without anything else?

乙女座 ー おとめざ
or
処女宮 - しょじょきゅう

Thanks in advance folks!

I'm fairly sure the usual Japanese name of the constellation is 乙女座.

I have some advice about kanji tattoos here:

I'm sure Virgo is 乙女座(otomeza), if you check magazines or horoscopes you'll always find it written with those kanjis, in fact I had never seen the other word before.
