i want to know the symbols for "Best Friend", me and my friend are going to get matching tats, we decided on best friend in symbols.

Can someone show me what it would look like, so anyone that anyone who knew the symbols would understand what it meant when they saw it?

This is the Roomaji for "Important Friend", "Friend of great worth", or "Precious Friend" it would depend upon useage and context.
Best I can offer, for the Kanji of those roomaji I cant help as I am limited to roman characters on this computer. Any Kanji dictoinary or wa-ei jisho printed in the US / UK should have an index to look up the compounds. Both of the words are 2 Kanji compounds so I hope you have some room to put them in.
There may be a better / shorter way to express the same idea, but I wanted to try to help you out.

do you think you could find a picture of this, or give me a link to a internet place i can find it. I dont have access often to the internet, here at the library they only give us 10 minutes to do what we wanna do.

Thanks alot for your help.

my friend sent me a couple links that have "best friend" in kanji, and they dont look like that. Are their other ways to express it? If so could you post images like the one above?

Well, is your friend an actual Japanese speaker? Because I think Ms. Anon would be a more reliable source than someone who just looked it up...
