 Japanese Tattoo Designs -
The art of Japanese tattoo has been traced back as far as 5,000 B.C.
It is very possible that it existed well before this date, but this
is as far back as claims can be backed up with physical proof. Clay
figurines that date back to the 5th millennia B.C. have been found
with their faces painted or engraved to represent tattoo markings.
As far as historians and archaeologists can tell, these tattoos are
believed to have held a special religious or magical meaning to
their bearers.

Kanji is the calligraphy style letter writing method used by the Japanese. It’s
a wildly popular choice among those seeking Japanese style tattoo designs. By
using Kanji, you can easily create and display nearly any message you want. Some
popular Kanji characters translate into words like: Happiness, Wealth, Love,
Lovers, Laughter, Sadness, Beautiful, Duty and Loyalty. |
 From
a fierce dragon to small flowers, or large intricate samurai warriors, Japanese style tattoos work
for anyone, almost anywhere. A koi lazily swimming across a hip, an emerald
serpent slithering up a calf, a ring of cherry blossoms joined together in an
ankle or armband, or a lady and samurai embracing on your back, as wonderful as
the art of horimono is, you may find yourself enticed into wearing them all as
part of your personal Japanese tattoo gallery!
