Traditional Tattoos-Japanese Tattoo

Japanese tattoos are known for their full body styling, bold lines, historic patterns and traditional images. The techniques for tattooing that developed in Japan used hand tools, and it wasn’t until the mid 20th century that machines first came to Japanese tattooing.


Japanese Tattoo

Japanese tattoo is called “irezumi” or “horimono” in Japanese. In Japan, tattoo is usually considered to be a symbol of a yakuza and tends to be perceived negatively by people. For example, many public bath facilities in Japan inhibit customers who have tattoos from entering. Traditional Japanese tattoo covers arms, shoulders, and the back. In recent years, it’s becoming popular for Japanese young people to get contemporary tattoos.

Angel Tattoos

There is a trend of people getting angel tattoos on their back, but they are not the original angel. These people are getting wings tattooed on their backs. It's a different type of tattoo since the angel wings make it look like the person actually has wings growing out of their back. Wings come in many different sizes, depending on the person. Some people have been getting this tattoo the size of their entire back, while others are getting small angel wings that fit in the upper part of the back.



Here are a few original angels tattoos that people have. Some represent a loved one who has passed on while others represent a period in the person's life where they changed their life for the better. The person who has conquered something in their life might get the angel tattoo stepping on the devil as a representation of overcoming evil with good. As you can see there are many types of angel tattoos to choose from. These are just a very few pictures of what you can find on the internet. If you are looking for more detailed angel tattoos I would suggest buying a directory of tattoos for you to look through so you can have a better idea of what you want for your tattoo design.






You can alway just walk into any tattoo shop and view their books of designs they have once tattooed on a person. Most tattoo parlors will have books of hundreds of tattoos they have done before. You can get a great idea of the type of work they do. I would suggest going to multiple tattoo shops to see the different types of quality of work. Just like an artist, tattooist very in skill and choosing the best tattoo artist may take some time. If you are interested in the Angel tattoo design you can also have the artist sketch something out and work from there. Whatever you do, be sure to research your design first so you have a great idea what you want, whether its an angel tattoo, angel wings tattoo or just an angel, or anything you can image.

New Dragon Tattoo

Ok so I just got back about an hour ago from a tattoo artist I know and trust. I had been wanting to get a dragon tattoo for some time now on my calf but wasn't really happy with the typical tattoo flash art I had seen. And being a girl I take getting any new tattoo very seriously. I did some research.

First I had to decide what type of dragon. I never realized there was so many variations of a dragon. Throughout recorded history we have written and drawn pictures about dragons. Many of our modern day religions have dragons in their beliefs. Whether these mythical creatures actually existed, were legends passed down from sightings of the last dinosaurs, or were just stories to excite and scare who knows. Anyway I looked two of the standard dragons for my tattoo.

The Chinese Dragon. Exhibiting the mystique and beauty of the orient these graceful serpentine dragons come in an abundance of colors and shapes. Some have wings, some fly without them. Many were considered to be holy beings which appeared to help mankind in their times of needs. I found that some didn't even look like what I had always envisioned a dragon to be. Many were covered with fur and feathers instead of scales. But all were beautiful and had individual meaning to the people of China.

The Medieval Dragon. Ok here was my idea of a dragon. Being an avid online fantasy gamer these were the dragons I had encountered. Huge, scaled, winged, fire-breathing creatures that struck dread into the heart of the masses. These were the foes of shining knights and powerful wizards for centuries past.

But what about a combination of the two? Nowhere I looked could I find a tattoo of one of each of these legendary beasts, the Chinese and the Medieval Dragon, together or locked in battle. Last year I had subscribed to an online database of thousands of tattoos for me to research and download. After some great suggestions on the forums there and a merging of a couple tattoos I had a unique and one of a kind dragon tat just for me!
