Japanese tattoing is so incredibly inbeded in tradition, that it is s a petty that most people do not realize it!

It's not just images on your body, but yet amazing cultural messages passed on, in an even more amazing art form, generation to generation for hundreds and hundreds of years.

Horitaka (Taka), Shige and Horitomo are (aside of incredible Master tattooers) good exemples of artists that deeply respect these traditions! Domo!!

I'm always in awe at the sheer amount of detailing that goes into some pieces. The idea of the body as a canvas and work of art is appealing to me. Breathtaking designs.

[harleyghost]

what beautiful artwork on these living canvases.

[ManekiNeko28]

You do not understand the Japanese people, at all. The Japanese consider tattoos to be offensive. They associate tattoos as something a gangster and/or an unlawful person would present themselves. What you do not understand is this....the REAL Japanese try really, really hard to be law abiding people. It is their way. peace.

[PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1]

check out my art

[TheSkavenger13]

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Amazing. Much respect for Japan.

[Clarince1]

I'm gnna get a spiritual dragon guarding the heavens on a sunrise and in each hands cletches 2 orbs representing an everyday typical working being with japanese word of Honor and perserverance or for a fighter. Honor and Dignity  anyone that represents hardworking, moneymaking prideful ppl get this tattoo on their back. Hand of the guardian protects you and your principles everyday

[jack604]

looks like a buncha yakuzas to me LOL

[whiteninjaz88]

true, but if they were yakuza, they would be called yakuza not yakuzas, there's no plural in japanese language.

[xX1AzNYoungstaXx]

@jack604 I thought that too for a minute, since yakuza leaders have full body tattoos just like that one guy in this vid

[PhillipGuterez]

I want to see the tatts not all this talking.
