Traditional Japanese Tattoos – one of the most popular tattoo style and an incredible sources of inspiration for many contemporary tattoo artists. Regardless of specific style and reworked ideas these Japanese-inspired tattoos have their roots in Irezumi, or traditional Japanese tattooing.
The earliest indication of the body art phenomenon can be found on the seemingly tattooed faces of clay figurines from 5000 B.C.
in the 18th century due to the prevalence of the colorful and pictorial woodblock print, tattoos rendered in this style. Major Motifs in Japanese tattoos often showcase the culture’s reverence for nature – animals and flowers. Additionally, much like the ukiyo-e print, figures and portraits are also frequently featured in traditional tattoos. I guess nowadays we can find even broccoli tattoo design made in Japanese style, but it will be Insprired Japanese Tattoo, not a Traditional.
