There has been a phenomenal growth of Japanese traditional tattoo designs in recent years. Once the tattoo was lowered into the Yakuza or Japanese criminal group and in the community. Only a regular tattoo place and still can strike fear into the people. However, Japan is the country's rapidly changing and they are starting to see value in tattoos and more and more people have a deep respect for them. For the majority of tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts are always looking for the same Japanese design, one of which is:
Cherry Blossom TattoosFor the Japanese the cherry blossom is seen to represent life itself. The flower is a thing of great beauty. It is strong in that is pushes itself and blooms in harsh conditions and climates and often comes out when the snow is first melting. Yet it is paradoxically fragile at the same time. It is fragile because it will only last a few days and then it will fall from the tree and land in the snow. The Japanese view this as a representation of life itself. Life should be lived to extreme beauty and everyday should be lived to it's fullest. Yet one must always be aware of the possibility of death and therefore with the eventuality of death live life even more fully. This is a great tattoo and a symbol that is laden with powerful reminders and a great guide to how each individual should live their life.
