Japanese Tattoo
 

i think everybody knows japanese tattoos.most likely a koi,a mask or a samurai.
what do you think about these tattoos??i guess it became very popular the last years and that`s why i start this thread so post your opinion!!!

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

a tattoo showing something japanese.a koi for example or a samurai

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.

i think that there are too many japanese tattoos that are showing the same.it would be better if there would be more different images

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

but japanese art history got more than just this few used images

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.
