Japanese Tattoos

Japanese tattoo style, (commonly referred to as Irezumi, Wabori or Harimono) is a traditional style of tattooing that originated in Japan. This style is easily recognized by its characteristic motifs, bold shading, and readability.

The most classic motifs that we see in Japanese tattoos today include folkloric figures, masks, Buddhist deities, famed samurai, tigers, snakes and koi fish, as well as mythical creatures including Japanese dragons, kirin, kitsune, baku, foo dogs and phoenix.

Either being in full colour, black and grey or with a pop of colour, this style makes for the most amazing and beautiful tattoos!
