Do not ink this

Another two-nouns-stapled-together translation. The real phrase already exists.

What a Japanese person actually thinks

Reads like the title of a civics textbook chapter. Completely inert.

Meaning

Literally
freedom + spirit
Actually
Parseable as 'a spirit of freedom' — but as a description of a person it doesn't work. It sounds like the name of a policy platform.

Scores

Naturalness

Nobody says this. The established yojijukugo for 'free spirit' is right there and it's better in every way.

Coolness

None. It's four characters of nothing.

Watch out

Nothing embarrassing lurking in here.

Get this instead

  • jiyū honpō
    free and unrestrained; doing as one pleases
    The actual established phrase. Same four-character density, and it genuinely describes a person.
  • fūraibō
    a wanderer; someone who drifts where the wind takes them
    If you mean free as in untied rather than free as in unrestricted. Warm, slightly romantic, very human.

On skin

Orientation: either

N/A — change the words.
