I was going to choose the "Because they don't know what the he** they mean" option, but that wasn't available.

To answer your question, most people choose a tattoo that has a personal meaning to them, and they choose something that looks unique.

The japanese or chinese symbols are simple yet abstract and very unique. There are so many ways to express different words and meanings.
Example I would prolly choose the symbol for strength.......not for physical strength such as muscles and brawn but for mental strength having went through tough emotional experiences.
I like the fact that the symbols are pretty much unknown to most people that leaves a bit of mystery to them. They also tend to be a conversation starter because people are curious to what they mean and they tend to ask the person that has one.

If I'm having something engraved onto my flesh, I want it to not only have some deeper meaning to it, but I want it to be something I can look at every day, and not get horribly tired of it.
What the what?

You are Chinese, but you used the word "kanji". Why? Kanji is a Japanese word, not Chinese.
漢字
漢(kan)=China
字(ji)=character(letter, etc)
The characters you are all thinking of are, yes, that is right, CHINESE characters.
There are some kanji that only exist in Japan, but they are rare and nobody really uses them except in old literature.
Japanese characters were invented a long time ago, and many were based on different parts of Chinese characters.

That is a better explanation, with visuals. Click on the word "katakana" to see the other set of symbols.
Now you can tell your mommy you learned something interesting today.
