Japan is one of the places where tattooing is heavily practiced as a beautiful art form and with the greatest skills level. Japanese tattoos dates back to the fifth century. Unfortunately this early form of Japanese tattooing largely died out by the end of the fifth century and tattooing was revived only in the thirteenth century as a way of marking criminals and other social desirables

Horimono and Irezumi are two terms often associated with Japanese tattoos. Irezumi were known as “Yakuza Tattoos” because they are often donned by Japanese gangsters. The term Horimono was used to describe tattoos of an artistic nature. These days It is difficult to define the difference between Irezumi and Horimono in contemporary usage, although Horimono is generally considered to be the more polite term.
