These days, they are popular for both men and women. If you are a woman who is interested in Japanese tattoo designs, here are some tips that will help you with your choice.

Understanding the history

Tattooing is a tradition in Japan that dates back to several centuries. During most of those centuries, the art wasn't accepted by most people. In fact, tattoos in ancient Japan were usually associated with criminals. There was even some branding going on in regard to criminals. The branding continued on during the time of Yakuza (gangs). The gangsters would get tattoos to mark their chosen lifestyle.

In recent decades, many young Japanese men who aren't associated with any gangs have been getting tattoos, as the art is becoming more and more mainstream. This art is going through a sort or rebirth amongst the Japanese and the trend is spreading more widely to Europe and North America. Now, many men and women of all ages are starting to get Japanese tattoo designs.

The designs for women

Here are some of the most popular designs that look great on women. You are free to choose any design you want, of course, although there are certain images that most women tend to prefer.

The cherry blossom

Men and women both include Geishas in their Japanese tattoo designs. They are more than just "pinup" models; they are very classy, cultured women that were trained to carry the traditions of the Japanese culture. They were beautiful and very talented. They were taught to dance, sing, play instruments, pour tea with perfection, and entertain in general.

Some tattoo designs depict both a Samurai and Geisha meeting, often sitting facing one another and drinking tea. If you want a strong, female image as part of your tattoo, then you could always consider the Geisha.
