Classy Tattoos | Classy Tattoo Designs and Tattoo Art

  In Japanese the tattoos are called irezumi (入れ墨, 入墨, 文身, 剳青, 黥 or 刺青), ireru that means insert and sumi that means black ink.They are also called  horimono ,horo that means  ”write”  and mono that means  ”something”.

The japanese  tattoos were made  to pursue different things with spiritual and decorative meanings.The japanese  tattoos start to appear in the  Jomono period  around 10000  before Christ advent.At the beginning of the Meiji period the Japanese government wanted to protect their image and make a good impression on the West and  outlawed the tattoos  so the irezumi art of tattoos was considered criminal.

However, foreigners who came to Japan were fascinated by the amazing skills of  japanese tattoos artists iruzumi to the point that the tradition continued in secret for verbal transmission.

Although in Japan  the irezumi tattooing  was legalized  by the occupation forces in 1945, has unfortunately kept the dark  connotation  of criminality.

In the tradition of Japan, the  irezumi  japanese tattoos are often associated with the infamous Japanese mafia known as the “Yakuza“.

Many places in Japan, such as public baths, spas, fitness centers still have a mandatory  ban for customers with tattoos.So remember this  if you go to Japan! In Japan the traditional Irezumi is still done by an expert craftsman tatuista, but it is a painful process that requires time-consuming and expensive.

A typical traditional irezumi that covers the body (tattoos covering his arms, back, chest and upper legs, but leaving a space at the center of the tattooed body) can take 1-5 years with an average of one session  per week to complete and a cost of  around $30000,yes is thirty thousand dollars!

The most popular japanese  tattoos designs  are:

The Dragon:

Fudomyo-O: the Japanese version of the Buddhist deities Acalanatha, furious version of the Buddha.

Kara-Jishi: Mythological animal

The koi carp:

An ancient Japanese legend says that a carp with great difficulty climbed the falls, until reaching the gates of heaven. As a token of gratitude for this huge effort was transformed into a dragon, in fact we can see that the dragons are represented covered with scales of carp.
