Symbolism Of Japanese Tattoo

Other major figure of the tattoo Asian tattoo with Chinese, Japanese tattoo is one of the major styles of art.
Also popular in the West it is feared in Japan, Japanese tattoo vehicle many fantasies as it is mainly linked to the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia.

In Japan, it is called irezumi to designate these traditional tattoos that cover large parts of the body.
These tattoos are real works of art and often take several years to be completed.

Although the Japanese tattoo is now a hallmark of the Yakuza, its history is much older and dates back to the time when Japanese fishermen tattooed their faces to protect themselves from evil spirits.

Japanese tattoo and yakuza

The Yakuza are largely responsible for the image that the Japanese tattoo today.
An estimated 73% of the number that would be tattooed yakuza. This step was seen as a test of endurance and courage tattoos they were doing were very codified.
Today, a new generation of yakuza are increasingly getting a tattoo western style, faster, less painful and less expensive.

In Japan, tattooing is an element of discrimination in society.
A paradox when we know that some Yakuza are now removing their tattoos for the sake of discretion, while many now wear Western-style Japanese tattoos.

Western influence is thus that tattoos discrimination is less important.
However, you can still find in many public baths a poster prohibiting entry to those who have a tattoo.

The idea comes from Japanese tattoo full suit of samurai called jimbaori a sleeveless coat.
It was very easy to set jacket over armor. On the back of the pattern was painted jimbaori favorite samurai. They had a clear preference for the heroes, the guardian gods or dragons.
The first Japanese tattoos are made on the back and then they gradually extended shoulders, arms, thighs, eventually covering the entire body.

Kame-no-Koh or turtle back covers the entire back to mid-thigh.

Hikae is a tattoo that covers the shoulder and pectoral.

Name Tattoo Designs – What To Consider When Choosing Someone’s Name

Posted on June 18, 2018 by blogger

I think everyone has thought about tattooing someone’s name on themselves. That special someone, family member, name of your pet, great friend etc. It is a great way to show how much they may mean to you and your loyalty to them. In this article I will talk a little about who’s names should be considered as well as the reasons why. Also I will discuss names that might need a little more thought before committing to ink.

Name tattoos are very personal. They mean a lot to both the person with the tattoo as well as the person who has the name. When considering a name tattoo design consider not only how much they mean to you but whether that person would appreciate you displaying their name in public. Sometimes people are sensitive about this and, at the least, they deserve is a vote in it. Would you like to be involved with that decision if the shoe were on the other foot?

Next, If this person is very special to you (not a family member), are there going to be ramifications if this relationship changes? Some people would still consider the tattoo to be a sign of their past together and herald this as a chapter in their life. Others may not look too kindly upon carrying around another’s name after the relationship has changed. Also, what about the named person? What would they think. What would the next “special person” in your life think about the “old” tattoo? These are all good questions.

If the person to be named in your tattoo design is a family member, once again, give them the respect of asking them what they think. I think it is a wonderful way to permanently recognize the meaning and relationship of special family members. Think “Mom” on the sailors arm. Some people ink the whole family in certain designs like trees or hearts to symbolize the unity of the family.

Another way in which names are used in tattoos is in memorials. When someone special passes away, inking a tattoo of their name is a sign of respect for the person who has passed on. They are sometimes seen written in hearts with ribbons or flowers. This is a very personal way of showing that they will be missed and that they are always thought about. Consider this option if someone close to you has died and you would like for them to remain near to your heart and memory.

I hope this discussion has made you think about the use of name tattoo designs and the importance to you, as well as the named person as well. I wish you well on your decision.

Sanskrit Tattoo Designs Bringing Sanskrit To Life On Your Skin

Posted on June 16, 2018 by blogger

Once more, tattoos are back in fashion – not the large tribal tattoos covering your shoulders and arms, but smaller elegant Sanskrit tattoo designs. With many Hollywood stars now sporting their own tattoos, even mainstream tattoos accept the subtler tattoo designs. If you want to show your independence and spirituality with a small Sanskrit tattoo or Celtic cross tattoo, it’s now okay. Mothers will no longer try and hide their children away from you.

Sanskrit is an ancient language, dated all the way back to 1500 BC. While modern languages like English can be ambiguous, Sanskrit is very precise. Because it is also used as a religious language, Sanskrit has a very strictly regulated grammar. This makes sense – when you call on the favor of your gods, you really don’t want any room for misinterpretation or misunderstanding. The old fable of King Midas and his golden touch comes to mind.

This very precision makes Sanskrit tattoos ideal for use as in memory tattoo designs. Translate the names of your loved ones into Sanskrit and get them tattooed on your skin.

If you want to celebrate or give thanks for something miraculous which happened in your life, Sanskrit tattoo designs are also ideal. Ditto for prayers and wishes.

Lovers of history and all things ancient will also love tattoo designs in Sanskrit. One of the oldest religious texts in the world, the Rig Veda, is in Sanskrit. One of the first epic poems in Asia, the Ramayana, is also in Sanskrit. This is the inspiration for all subsequent epic poems in both India, South East Asia and South Asia. Two of the longest epic poems in the world, the Mahabharata and Bagavadgita, are both in Sanskrit. In 1786, Sir William Jones, the father of comparative linguistics and Indo-European studies, came to the conclusion that Sanskrit, ancient Greek and Latin shared too many common elements to have developed separately. They must have originated from some even more ancient language.

The common Sanskrit script is called Devanagara. It is horizontal in nature, with many flowing curves and perfect for artistic rendering. This written form can be naturally inked as an armband tattoo or something else more elaborate. Together with Celtic cross tattoos, Sanskrit tattoo designs are a beautiful and elegant decorations for your skin.

Tribal Tattoos Their Use And Purpose

Posted on June 5, 2018 by blogger

The art of tattooing has been around for thousands of years, and tribal tattoos continue to have a place of importance for certain groups of people. Whether it is to show a connection to a particular group or a sense of belonging to a certain race or religion, tattoo symbols continue to be used. There is information explaining the many ways in which a tattoo can be placed.

One of the main ways that a tribal tattoo was used was to show the completion of a particular rite of passage. Tattoo symbols would be placed on the body or face of an individual going through a certain stage in their life. The most common stage was from child to adult. Different tattoos might have been used for different types of situations, but the markings served as a symbol to all that the individual has completed a rite of passage.

Other ways that a tribal tattoo was used was usually in conjunction with identification. Many groups would use certain tribal tattoo designs to mark their members, showing that these people belonged to a certain group. This was a useful way of bringing a group together and creating a particular identity and sense of belonging. There was less confusion with groups that seemed similar when identifying tattoos were used.

Tribal tattoos were more common among Native Indians than they were in groups made up of a mix of races and backgrounds. Their main purpose was to provide the individuals in the group with a method of identity and also display the group’s hierarchy. A body tattoo could show the world that the person was a strong leader of a particular group, and other members would have different tattoos to show their particular rank or position within the group. Branding a person may have meant that they belonged to another human being, but also to show that they weren’t as important as others within the same group. Sometimes, just by being born to a lower status mother meant that you could never reach a higher position within the group context.

As can be seen, tribal tattoos were used for multiple reasons; a rite of passage, identification with a particular group or to show a person’s level of status within a group. All were reasons to choose to have a body tattoo. North America is made up of many different races and religions, and for some it is important to reconnect with their past family history. In other cases, such as gangs, tattoos are generally used for identification purposes. They can also be used in gangs to denote status. However, even if none of these apply to you, it is still possible to pick a tattoo that is related to a particular group just because you like how it looks and it may represent something only to yourself.
