Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.
Script
Characters
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Acting without asking what you get out of it.
Before you commit
Choose with care私 on its own means private or selfish, the exact opposite. It only reads as a virtue with 無 in front of it, so never split the pair.
Pairs well with大公無私, utterly impartial and without self-interest, is the standard four-character phrase.
At small sizes無 is twelve strokes of stacked horizontals. Inked small or on soft skin it fills in and reads as a block.
Meaning
Selfless; without private interest.
The plain standard term, as in 無私奉獻, selfless devotion.

What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
