Japanese Tattoo

[kokunin]

I'd get atat with a cross and buddha beads aroudn the neck of the cross and then have angel wings come offf the image, about $5000...lolman that's alot of ink...I might die...AWESOME!!!!

Go for it Kokunin!! You won't die, but you might pass out!! After its done and youve been revived, you'll look at your beautiful peace and smile knowing you have something to carry with you for the rest of your life. Kind of like a child

Can someone paste pictures of j-tattoos here so we can see?

I was thinking of incorporating the wings of a phoenix onto a dragon's body ^_^ And yeah, sakura leaves falling would be a nice idea...

All my art is extremely personal as it should be.

I agree with Oren, Japanese tattoos do have some strong meanings behind them. I know i'm only 14, but my step-dad is a tattoo artist and he says that most of the tattoos he does for his customers have meanings behind them and reason. I personally want to be a tattoo artist when i grow up and i can understand why some people look at tattooed people think "why the hell would you get that tattooed on yourself?!?" or "That's ugly!" because we all look at things differently to each other. I just hope alot of people don't get tattoos because of the mainstream and popualarity because then you would look back at it and regret it, and you're also stuck with it for life.

that´s exactly what i think about it.i think tattoos have to be a unique thing to it´s owner.someone who copies a tattoo don´t understand the meaning of having one.in my opinion it has to be very close related to the person that wear´s it.all other things are nothing more than expensive stickers

[Tsukikage]

Very nicely put, i would post a few pics up here but someone who doesnt understand may still copy it though. I see my tattoos as marks of my achievments in life and particular occasions

[Oren]

Well, Tsukikage if you don't want to post pics of your art would you mind describing what you have? I always love to hear about others art and boast about mine!!

[Tsukikage]

ok, well iv got the bushido code down my left arm, and the main one im getting at the moment is sakura, from the left side of my chest, over my shoulder then onto my shoulder blade. I also have the word Rewrite in Japanese on my chest. thats all iv got planned for the timebeing.
What tattoos do you have Oren?(and anyone else for that matter)
