Japanese Traditional Tattoos
Japanese tattoos form part of asian culture, have been around for a long time and are generally large. The complicated tattoo designs usually dominate most of the body and are so detailed they are also very time consuming as well as expensive. A tradtional body suit, including covering the arms and legs, can take years to complete.Tattooing for spiritual purposes dates back to approximately 10000BC, and around 300BC - 300AD, Japanese design were shought to have spiritual significance as well as functioning as a status symbol
In the Kofun period, around 300 - 600AD, tattoos began having negative connotations also. Instead of being used for ritual purposes, tattoo markings were placed on criminals as a punishment.
At the beginning of the Meiji period the Japanese government, wanting to protect its image and make a good impression on the West, outlawed tattoos, and irezumi took on connotations of criminality. Nevertheless, fascinated foreigners went to Japan seeking the skills of tattoo artists, and traditional tattooing continued underground.
Around 1945, tattoos were legalized again but the criminal image was retained. Japan’s notorious mafia, Yakuza, were often associated with having tattoos to show their connections to the criminal underworld. As a result, many businesses in Japan have banned tattoos, such as public baths and massage parlours.
Katakana is generally used for foreign names, places, and the words of foreign origin. Therefore if you are from a country that doesn’t use kanji (Chinese characters), your name is normally written in katakana. For Japanese tattoo lettering, people often use Kanji.The meaning of Japanese Dragon Tattoo
The choice for a Japanese dragon tattoo makes a particularly powerful personal statement, and the choices in design are rich with diversity.
The Japanese dragon is one of the most popular mythological creatures picked for inking and a classic choice for a tattoo design. It is usually depicted as a wingless, heavily-scaled snake-like creature with small clawed legs and a horned or antlered camel head, and is associated with sea, clouds or the heavens. Japanese dragons tend to be much more slender and fly less frequently than the Chinese counterparts. The breath of the Japanese Dragon changes into clouds from which come either rain or fire. It is able to expand or contract its body, and in addition it has the power of transformation and invisibility. This is merely a general description and does not apply to all Japanese dragons, some of which have heads of so extraordinary a kind that they cannot be compared with anything in the animal kingdom.
Tattoo artists have taken the art of the Japanese dragon to amazing new levels. Whether you want a full back design or a half sleeve design, you will find an incredible gallery of amazing designs to choose from. They can be in color, or black & white. The dragon tattoo may appear with sea wave or clouds or pearls. If the dragon claw holds an enormous magical pearl, which has the power to multiply whatever it touches, the "pearl" symbolized the most precious treasure: Wisdom. Ancient Dragon lore and illustrations have inspired many of us to select a dragon tattoo because that design represents how we feel about ourselves -- strength, wisdom and freedom...The popular locations for inking Japanese dragon tattoos.

sexy women tattoos with Flower Tattoo Designs - Timeless Symbols of Expression
sexy women tattoos with Flower Tattoo DesignsFlower tattoo designs allow you to express in symbolism what you want to say or cannot say out loud. The Japanese call it "Hanakotoba" - the "Language of Flowers."
Roses for instance have long symbolized love and passion. Each color with it's own unique language. A dozen red roses speaks volumes to the one you love. Even the different varieties of lilies have their own meaning. The Tiger Lily speaks "I dare you to love me." Their timeless language and eternal beauty have made flowers one of the more popular tattoo designs.
Their popularity is due to a variety of reasons:
- They can be used as a stand-alone tattoo.
- They can be woven together and incorporated into other designs like butterflies or angels.
- They come in a large variety of designs, shapes, & sizes, allowing you to be discreet or make a bold statement.
- They distinctly enhance the beauty of a woman's body.
- They can be designed in a Celtic or Tribal form giving them a more masculine appeal.
Given the reasons above and the exotic meanings of flowers there's no reason why you couldn't find a tattoo design that clearly illustrates the message you want to convey. No need to worry about a cookie-cutter design either. The common rose has thousands of shapes, sizes, and styles to choose from giving you an endless choice in expressing your individuality. The possibilities become even more endless when you combine a flower design with other popular tattoos like a fairy, butterfly, or angel.
Flower tattoo designs capture what you cannot say with words and are infused with symbolism and meaning. Popular styles include roses, hibiscus (especially Hawaiian), orchids, lotus, lilies, ivy, and more. Take time to consider the meaning behind the tattoo design you choose. Don't just go for the most popular or what your friends are getting. Think about the meaning the flower represents and choose a design that embodies your distinctive character traits and the unspoken message you have to say.
