Japanese tattoos have their long-time history and were initially used as a way of marking criminals to expose their crimes to the general public. However, it started to gain popularity as a way to decorate the body around the end of the Edo period. Japanese tattoo is also called ‘Irezumi’, known for bright, bold colors and dark greyscale backgrounds.
