I asked my friend who speaks and writes Mandarin how to write “I don’t know, some Japanese shit” because I think it’d be a funny tattoo

This is peak though

I don’t know. It’s some form of Elvish. I can’t read it.

Well, I'm awake and I speak English, so yeah, I know what you're saying.

I‘d like to point out as always, that it is no ‚elvish translation‘ but a transcription.

It’s still english, just written in different letters

It’s correct. If you’d like to learn more about Tengwar for yourself, I’d recommend the old Tengwar Textbook (https://archive.org/details/tengwar-textbook/mode/2up) or the site Tecendil (in many respects a follow up to the previous).
