I'm not sure if these two characters are Japanese or not. To my limited knowledge, they look to be that way. I can't draw them out (I have poor artistic abilities) so I'll do my best to describe them.
1) The first character appears to be something similar to the # sign. Two vertical lines with two horizontal-ish lines crossing through them.
2) The second looks like the letter A, but with two lines instead of one. Both are near the top, and the lines carry through and extend through the inverted V part of the A.

I know this might be a difficult question, and the characters might not even be Japanese, but I would appreciate any help that could be given. I want to get them on a tattoo, but I'd like to know what they might mean first.

Thanks!

Welcome to our Japanese forum, Raoul.
Your description being a bit confusing, I recommend to stick a scanned image of the Japanese characters.
"How to add scanned image" is explained in the help menu at the left frame. Click on the Documentation/Formatting then go to "Images, Attachments, and Clipart" section.
Kind regards,
