Japanese tattoos are called irezumi or horimono in Japanese. In Japan, tattoos are usually considered a symbol of yakuza (Japanese mafia) and are often perceived negatively. For example, many public bath facilities in Japan inhibit customers who have tattoos from entering.
Traditional Japanese tattoo covers arms, shoulders, and the back. In recent years, contemporary tattoos are becoming popular among young people, and tattoo events are often held in big cities.Here is a picture collection of Japanese tattoo designs. Popular Japanese tattoo designs include kanji (Chinese characters), dragon, flowers, koi (carp), wavy oceans, and more. Traditional Japanese tattoos cover large areas of the body.
