Traditional Japanese tattoos, also known as “irezumi”, are intricate, colorful and detailed designs that have been practiced for centuries. The practice of irezumi is deeply rooted in the spiritual, cultural and artistic history of Japan, and tattoos are seen as an expression of devotion and loyalty. While the art of irezumi is becoming increasingly popular all over the world, there are still some rules and regulations that must be followed in order to achieve a true traditional Japanese tattoo.
