The first Oriental tattoos appeared not earlier than the third century A.D. in Japan. Then drawings on the body were worn exclusively by noblemen. They were placed only on the face and were considered a privilege. In the 17th century, Japanese tattooing technology began to develop rapidly and became an art form.

A special Japanese paint, called nara, was made. Remarkably, under the skin it became blue-green in color. Therefore, for Oriental tattoos, you usually need a beautiful multicolored paint.

Experienced specialists can score a drawing on which the dragon will look like a live one while the wearer performs any movements. Such tattoos attract the attention of onlookers, being real masterpieces as an animated performance on video.

Themes and technology of the oriental style

Often warriors are used as images for Oriental tattoos. As a rule, the picture of a samurai is printed on the body along with his armor and armor. A popular element for body paintings are also geishas. With their help masters try to convey the beauty of the oriental fair sex. They are placed in different versions (in the lotus pose, in the traditional Japanese dance).

Geisha is often drawn half-dressed, where they have only part of the national clothes. The Oriental is known for its geometric patterns with many symmetrical repetitions. Such pictures consist of huge variations of forms, whose compatibility with each other is initially difficult to imagine.

The Oriental tattoo is divided into three separate types, of which the main ones are Gaman and Iredzumi. In addition to the three main types, tattoos are called gaman, and the latter type is considered a sign that the bearer is a criminal, while gaman tattoos are a sign of tolerance and courage.

There is also a variant called kakushi-boro. This is a type of image, printed on the persons of the female sex. When performing such a tattoo, rice powder is rubbed into the skin, and the manifestation of the image occurs only after the bathing procedure.

Even now in the salons of Japan for stuffing tattoos are used bamboo sticks with attached needles. No special machines are used. It takes several years for an apprentice to get the status of a tattoo master. The process of drawing consists of several separate stages, which are interrupted by bathing procedures according to the technology. Among the stages of the nagging are the following:

• Sudzi - preparation of the sketch on the skin (done with a long-holding black paint);
• 1-4 needles are used to work out the contour;
• Filling the inner part of the drawing by piercing with a bunch of needles;
• tsuki-hari - filling of large parts (the punctures are made shallowly);
• Working out the desired shades (achieved by needle-puncturing the skin to the desired depth).

Traditional tattoos in Japan can be tattooed only by famous masters. Masterpieces are made over a long period of time, which can take about 5 years. For example, this is how long the work on the image of a tattoo costume is performed. It is worth noting that this is an expensive and painful process.
