Japanese Irezumi Tattoos at Inked Studios: Symbolism & Artistry
Japanese tattoos, also known as Irezumi, are a traditional and highly symbolic tattoo style rooted in centuries of Japanese art, folklore, and spiritual belief. These designs often feature bold linework, vibrant colors, and iconic imagery such as koi fish, dragons, tigers, geishas, waves, and cherry blossoms. Rich in meaning and visual drama, Japanese tattoos are typically large-scale and deeply narrative in nature.
