These tattooed men would stick together and form gangs and eventually they would be known as Yakuza. These tattoos where worn proudly as symbols of status and these Yakuza tattoos developed into magnificent, ornate tattoos that covered the whole body. These Yakuza tattoos have been known to take over two years to complete.

The Yakuza are believed to be one of the largest organized crime factions in the world and have been around longer than the mafia and their history can be traced back to the year 1612.

For the Yakuza it doesn't matter which country you come from or from which class of society you belong to, Yakuza members must be willing to die for their boss.

Today's many Yakuza gang factions are patriarchal in nature but women are integral parts of Japan's gangland society. Wives, mistresses and girlfriends of top Yakuza figures often undergo extensive tattooing. These women sometimes use tattoos to demonstrate their affiliations with the gang lifestyle. In some cases it's done to show loyalty and obedience to the Yakuza member they are involved with.

Irezumi is the art of tattooing in Japan. This word means insertion of ink. This can be referred to a tattoo artist, the person who gets the tattoo, or the tattoo itself.

The Japanese Samurai who would tattoo themselves so if they died in battle would also use tattoos and their clothes and armor looted after; there would still be a means for them to be recognized.

In modern Japan, it is now widely thought that if you have a tattoo you are in the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia. A lot of establishments, especially hot springs and bathhouses, will not let you enter their establishment if you have any form of tattoo.

No matter the purpose or the reason for which you may want to have a tattoo, you might want to know which are the most popular tattoo designs so that you will know how to get tattoo ideas to fit your own personality. 

Tribal tattoos - Tribal tattoos are probably the most popular type of tattoos around - an inevitable fact especially since they have been around for quite a few hundred years. Nowadays tribal tattoos are becoming more and more complex and they actually evolved into a new style called neo trial. Tribal tattoos can be found both as black work on arms and legs, but also colored styles that are all around the body.

Lower back tattoos - This category of tattoo styles is heavily picked by girls (remember that we talked above of the main reason for this). Lower back tattoos can be found in the shape of a dragon, lotus flower, symbols but tribal styles as well. The great thing about lower back tattoos is that they are rather discrete and not at all pushy, drawing the attention in a delicate manner compared to a tribal tattoo for example. Lower back tattoos can prove to be a great tattoo idea for girls, because they are not as visible but just as effective as any other tattoo, especially if put in the right area of the body.

Celtic Tattoos - This type of tattoos has quite some interesting story behind. It has been known to be applied only to those people that had a Celtic heritage of some sort even if nowadays Celtic tattoos are done on almost everybody. Celtic tattoos have several symbols that can be found in other cultures too, and this might be the reason for which you can find different Celtic styles in the tribal corner. Actually, this mixture of styles has been known as tribal Celtic tattoos.
