Japanese Tattoos

Category Archives: Geisha Tattoos

Japanese, perhaps, have the oldest tattooing tradition in the world. Later, due to the Chinese influence tattooing became a taboo in Japan. It became a tradition which was reserved only for the outlaws. This continued for centuries but the public perceptions are changing now. A Japanese tattoo designer is now highly respected in the Japanese society and tattoos with Japanese script (kanji) are fast becoming popular throughout the world.
