The Art of Traditional Japanese Tattoos

Japanese tattoos are known for their meticulous details and vibrant colors, often covering large portions of the body with designs like full or half sleeves, leg pieces, and full back pieces. Typical elements include flowers, animals, dragons, warriors, and geishas. Developed over hundreds of years, traditional Japanese tattoos feature a "gakubori" background, usually clouds or waves, with a character or scene telling a story overlaid on top.
