Hmmm... You mean a tattoo showing something japanese, or a tattoo made in Japan? O__Ô

Some of it I think is really cliched and crap, I guess it depends and what you have and where you have it done. Personally I would never get a Japanese-esq tattoo, I want some angel wings though like Davey Havok.

True, but maybe they just wanna stik to the original.



The pic added goes to the ones whose ideas are in a box, to the ones who don't give respect to the one who doesn't fit in that box, stereotying one as I am. You'll soon learn your mistake in not getting the chance, because of Your Error to get to know as others have gotten to know, love, respect, and appreciate me for who I am and not for what you aim to make me.

My tattoo that im getting done just now (its taken 3 sessions so far) is of Sakura, cherry blossom, I think its better to get somthing that means more to you personaly, otherwise, someone else is more than likely to have an extreemly simmilar, if not the same, tattoo.

Japanese tattoos are very strong and meaningful. I'm hoping that the majority of people who get these tats do it for the meaning behind it. But, unfortunately like everything else Japanese art has been streamlined so its just another popular thing to get. I personally never get a tattoo if it doesnt mean something to my soul. All my art is extremely personal as it should be.

Same here.(If I ever) I'm only getting tattoos that mean a lot to me and I won't regret them.
Someone else might think that's(the tattoo) stupid but it would mean a lot to me.
