From beautiful, exotic flowers to fierce Japanese dragon tattoos, or even large intricately designed samurai warriors, Japanese tattoo symbols and designs work for everyone and anyone. A Japanese koi fish tattoo swimming lazily across a woman's hip, a tiny ring of beautiful cherry blossoms fused together as an armband or at the ankle, a fierce looking emerald serpent slithering up someone's calf, or a samurai warrior and a lady embracing on a back – as wonderful as this art of Horimono seems to be – you might very well find yourself being lured into getting all of these beautiful Japanese symbols and designs made on your body.

Hannah is probably best known for her work on the LA Ink on TLC. Hannah is also the sister of well known tattoo artist, Guy Aitchison. Her work is vibrant and bold and is completely different from her brother's style.She is originally from Chicago and when doing the LA show was splitting her time between the 2 cities. She's got a vast range of other hobbies and you wonder where she can find the time to juggle all of them. The ambition may be genetic as her brother has a large variety of projects going at any given time. Her style has been called classical illustration and I think that's a good term to describe her style.Wednesday, June 16, 2010

Unlike the Chinese people, the Japanese people are currently very big on tattoos, but that was not always the case. In fact, for a brief time near the end of WW II, getting or giving a tattoo in Japan was actually illegal. The end of the war brought an end to that crime as well.
The alphabetic characters that appear in many Japanese tattoos are called Kanji. These characters, alone or in combination with others, can display a whole range of human emotions, thoughts, proverbs and poetry.
In addition to the calligraphic-like Kanji characters, there are many different animal, spiritual and nature-oriented symbols and images that make their way onto people's body parts in the form of a Japanese tattoo.
