The popularity of tattoos grew and thanks to famous dramatic actors who saw a new way to achieve expression on the stage in it. At the end of the XVIII century. One of the most beautiful tattoos could boast an outstanding actor Nakamura Utaemon IV. According to the example of the actors, fashion on the tattoos gradually began to master and some circles of the Japanese aristocracy. The period at the turn of the XVIII - XIX centuries is considered gold in the history of the Japanese tattoo. The patterns of painting have become not only a decoration of the body, but also the subject for reflection. As a rule, tattoos are depicting legendary heroes or religious plots that can intervene with flowers, landscapes, symbolic animals, such as dragons and tigers, on the background of waves, clouds or rays, And in motion, which makes their perception three-dimensional, as the main motives of Japanese tattoos served ancient fairy tales and legends associated with the sea. A numerous group of saints, samurai and monks, Kurtizanok, Geisha, actors of the Kabuki Theater, Sumo Fighters, etc. also found a place in the Japanese Tattoo.
Most often, the tattoo motives were dragon and carp. The acquisition of the popularity tattoo and its construction of art has led to the high prestige of the most popular Japanese tattoos, who called Hori. This name comes from the main "chorus", which means the action of "applying engraving" or "Copki", while the concept of "Hori-Mono" corresponds to the word "tattoo". Also today in Japan, the names of the famous masters of the Tattoo of the Edo period are remembered. They include them: Chori Juua, Karakus-Gice, Con Kondziro, Nakakon, Coveno, Jacques, Darumakin, Iku. Until our days, outstanding modern specialists, Hori-Mono refuse to use the electric machine of applying tattoos.

During the work of tattoos, they use bamboo chopsticks with needles attached to them. To apply the drawing, used from one to four needles, to fill the surface of the drawing - a set of thirty needles in the form of a beam. This knife needles is called "Hari."

In the process of performing a Japanese tattoo severe five phases.
The first phase ("judges") is based on the scope of the sketch of the motive and the entire composition using a black carcass or a special dye, which is firmly held on the skin. One session is enough to perform this work.
The second phase is the selection and fixation of the contour to the tool with fixed on it from one to four needles, which are immersed in a very thick black mascara.
The third phase is based on the skinning of the skin with a large number of needles collected in the bundle. This allows you to achieve the desired filling of the composition with color and tone.
The fourth phase, called Tsuki-Hari ("Tsuki" - punch and "Hari" - a bunch of needles), is in shallow pumping with a small amount of needles of significant body surface fragments without its depression. The needles are driven into the skin with the help of light shocks by the base of the palm, after which the needles are additionally pressed into the body.
The fifth phase is that during the height of the skin, the hand is attached to insignificant shuffs. The depth of the glowing is accurately monitored. The use of this technique makes it possible to achieve the best effects when the surface of the composition is deposited. This procedure is the least painful because it is carefully controlled, and at the same time the most complex technically.

Japanese tattoos use mainly black and red pigments, less often - bronze and quite rarely - green and yellow. After each procedure for applying the tattoo, the client is obliged to take a bath. This improves well-being and makes a tattoo more efficient. The measure with just made by the tattoo is warned by alcohol consumption, since alcohol in combination with just a skinny skin can lead to the poisoning of the body.

However, over time, the art of Tatu became a symbol of the criminal world. In ancient Japan, a person with a tattoo was a person of Non Grata: he was expelled from the family and society, condemning to complete isolation.
There are information that already in the VIII century in the country of the rising sun was used by tattoos-punishment. One of the conspirators who decided to overthrow the existing authorities were tattooed right near the eyes, so that everyone knew what a terrible crime he was conceived. Four centuries later, the separation of criminals from the law-abiding population by applying the tattoo was widespread. Moreover, in different principles and provinces, they branded in the form of punishment in different ways.
In the town of Chukhudzen, the horizontal line was applied for the first crime, for the second - arcuate, for the third - another line. These 3 features were the hieroglyph "Ina", which means the "dog" (in the danger dictionary of Japanese curses, this word is one of The most terrible). Also, the criminals are methyl and circle on the left shoulder, and the double line around the biceps of the left hand (every new crime was added along the line), and the Heroglyph "AKU", which in the translation means "villain".
Therefore, the originally tattoos of Yakuza carried the point of hiding the punishment tattoos, - on the body of the criminals, tattoos were usually made in a prominent place and could even tell, in which prison they were serving a sentence. Irozumi is an attempt to "hide" a criminal label with styling and introducing additional motives.
Yakuza has been using extensive tattoos for centuries as a sign of belonging to any group, as well as to designate their position in the group.
In addition, when joining Yakuzz, the peasants and artisans received new, militant sounding names, such as Tiger and Crane, nine dragons, roaring a storm, etc., which were then applied in the form of paintings on the back or chest.

This is one of the reasons for the popularity of tattoos in the form of dragons. For the Japanese, the dragon image should bring a success, style, the location of the tattoo can change the meaning. For example, a dragon that wrapped around the sword and the bright red eyes in you look, demonstrates the power and strength of its owner. The dragon steaming over the clouds is determined for everything for freedom and independence.

A special place is occupied by a variety of sea and generally water motives, which is explained simply: the life of many Japanese is closely connected with the sea.

Tiger - Symbol of fearless. Despite the fact that in Japan, a tiger can be found extremely rarely, artists tattoo, starting from the end of the Edo period, it is often depicted. To a greater extent, thanks to one of the heroes of the "suucoden" novel, who had a tattoo in the form of a tiger on his back. The image is somewhat distorted, as it was possible to see the tiger only in Chinese paintings. Perseverance, power, domination, - symbolism associated with a tig. Tiger, which released claws or penetrating to prey will tell about the aggressive masse of the host of the tattoo.

The birth and development of tattoos in Japan

At the most popular version, the tattoo came to Japan in 5 century. BC. From China, where art has developed for 6 centuries. In the 3rd century AD Travelers from the subway, arrived in Japan, noted that representatives of noble childbirth can be distinguished from ordinary people because they have pictures on their faces. According to another version, Tattoo tradition came in Japan from the most ancient times thanks to the people of Aina, who lived next to the Japanese from 7,000 to 250 BC. In a very famous residents of Japan, legend describes that the mythological lord of the rising sun of the rising Sun Jimmu (660-585 D.N.) possessed so beautiful tattoos that he struck the famous beauty of the Tsaritsa Sayyatatar, who had settled the poem in their honor. For this reason in Japan until the 6th century BC. Only the emperors could decorate their body tattoo drawings, and only some time later the tattoos began to appear on representatives of other social groups. It must be said that the first Japanese tattoo works were made non-needles, but spiny plants.

Tattoo masters in Japan have always been a special attitude, since they were considered real artists. One of the versions says that initially tattookers worked together with engravings, which were made on the body of the sketch, and their tattoo masters were scored. From another one can find out that tattoos were the same engravings who have changed the type of activity. But be that as it may, the learning procedure was quite similar: for 5 years, the student worked as an apprentice, was washing the floors, mix the ink and, most importantly, studying classical drawing.

In the Codziki, one of the first written monuments of Japan, talks about two types of tattoo. The first appearance was sign of representatives of nations, and tattoos of the second species noted criminals. At the beginning of the Kofun era (4-6 century. AD), tattoos did not find public censures. But in the middle of this period, the attitude towards them has changed greatly. A number of studies report that tattoo drawings were signs of rogues of society. Traffices on the forehead painted the hieroglyph "Dog", and such a person was perceived by society as a perfect expert.

By the end of the 17th century, tattoos in Japan began decorate your bodies and geisha bodies. One of the iconic innovations in 1720 was practice of tattoo as a punishmentthat replaced the nose and ears chopping. At the same time, Samurai were free from this punishment. Tattoos were applied to such criminals as extortionists, fraudsters, as well as people engaged in fake documents and cash bills. The attackers made a tattoo on her hand in the form of a black ring for each atrocity. This practice was used for one and a half centuries - until 1870.

In the 18th century, applying a beautiful tattoo becomes one of the ways customer attracting Kurtisanok. Ouran and Thai using tattoos could circumvent the law that forbidden to demonstrate a naked body. Beautiful tattoo drawings performed as a substitute for clothes, and the girl at the same time became even more desirable. Free from tattoos in this case was only a face, feet and palm. Sometimes a feeling flashed between the curtisan and her client, and then they made joint tattoos. For example, as proof of loyalty was made tattoo on his hands in the form of moles. Lovers also applied each other's names along with the hieroglyph denoting the word "fate."

The art of tattoos was also covered, thanks to the famous theatrical actors who saw the unusual method of achieving expression in the process of representation in it. In the second half of the 18th century, a cult actor Nakamura Utaemon IV possessed one of the most luxurious tattoos. Over time, the example from the actors began to take some representatives of the nobility.

After that, Yakuza could no longer be married to a girl from the "normal" family, he was not taken to work in the institution, of course, if he did not control the criminal grouping.

Japanese style in tattoo: photos, sketches, meaning.

It has been proven that the Japanese-style tattoos arose thousands of years ago, but during this time, no drop was excited their popularity. In addition, such tattoo was considered particularly influential, they were high-ranking people, such as the King of Denmark, Friedrich IX and, according to unofficial data, Nikolai II.

By the way, there are currently an unwritten ban on tattoos in Japan. At least the authorities do not take a tattoo as art. It's all about stereotypes for which a man with a tattoo is considered a member of the mafia, industrializing dirty affairs.

Japan is a country with unusual traditions and symbols, completely unlike what we are accustomed to. Local culture fascinates us, that is why, painting your body in this style, we try to partially touch her mysteries.

Japanese style can not be noticed, only one look at the stunning sketches fascinates. The most popular tattoo of the Japanese Dragon painted with bright colors. According to the reference, the tattoo of mythological creature can protect a person from fire. Often in this style you can see unusual combinations that combine animal aggressiveness and serenity of colors in the figure. This shows a person that everything in the world should be balanced.

An image of Sakura on the body, too, very symbolic. This gives an understanding that the life is short, like a flourishing and in the falling flower of Sakura.

The Masters of the Japanese Tattoos are real specialists of their case. Before taking into the hands of the needle, it is necessary to study every detail of the sketch, to deepen in the bottomless story of this culture.

In the world of tattoos every day is becoming more interesting. There are new styles, color solutions, forms and vehicles, however, the fact remains a fact - the full drawings came to us not just like that. One of the oldest types of visiting images are Japanese tattoo. Previously, they served to transmit human spiritual principles, as well as to report information on its social status and position in society.

The history of the Japanese tattoo is very interesting and difficult. Japanese tattoos are a flow that appeared for quite a long time. In those days, the government in every way tried to protect the people from the native imaging, they successfully continued their existence, only already in the lower social categories of society. Interestingly, the carriers of Palankins covered their naked body from the views of tattoos with images of representatives of the animal and the world, as well as the guys of excellent virgins.

Japanese-style tattoo includes Irozumi, which means "injecting carcasses." This type of signage was particularly popular among the curtains and their admirers.

However, for the first time the tattoos appeared on the bodies of representatives of criminal groups. The desire to disguise the stigma of the prisoner gave rise to fantasy in people and so ordinary labels turned into bright, overall tattoos. Soon they moved on the bodies of firefighters, and even after some time, they began to decorate the body of artists, merchants and other representatives of Japan's society.

Why then they were prohibited? And all because the authorities wanted to avoid mixing classes and classes. In Japan, such a separation was clear and did not change for a long time. Apparently, the authorities did not understand that the ban serves as a kind of motivation, because as soon as a ban on a tattoo was banned in the country, they began to spread with lightning speed. Tattoos were applied to those parts of the body that were as hidden from the extra eyes.

Technics

Since these tattoos are quite complex, they require a specialist of high professionalism and qualifications. Master of Japanese tattoos should feel what sketch is suitable for a person or another person.

He, as an artist, paints your body with different colors, and these are not just drawings, it is a tattoo with meaning. You can choose classic Japanese tattoos or add something to them and fill on the body a sketch "Realism in Japanese style" - it all depends only on you and from the skills of the tattooker. It should be noted that the price of Japanese tattoos is quite large, and all because it is often the overtricate images that require not one day of the wizard.

As for the paints, mixtures of herbal coloring substances and dyes are used instead. Japanese motifs require accuracy and accuracy, the correct combination of shades and others. To apply a full image, needles collected in a beam of 2-10 pieces are used. This allows you to draw the drawing as bright and saturated as possible.

Main differences from other styles

The appearance of Japanese patterns, for the most part, is an asymmetrical, having a smooth circuit, which is derived by thin and neat lines. As for the saturation of the image, with the help of the correct dosage of the tones, the effect is incredibly beautiful. With the help of special filling techniques, the edge of the tattoo is obtained more brighter, and the central part of the knocker is the opposite.

Among innovations, perhaps, the moving images should be selected. They are stuffed on the muscles, after thinking about the movement of the human body. Tattoo masters manage to pass the image in motion.

The value of tattoos

The value of Japanese tattoos has far from simple meaning. Depth, promise and main idea of \u200b\u200bthis style is immensely large. In addition to the appearance, bright colors and a large number of details, the symbols for the Tattoo of Japan have always fascinated with their interpretation. There are several basic sketches that are most popular today. Among them:

1. Flowers (magnolia symbolizes the unshakable and strength of the Spirit, lotus means cleanliness and eternity, and Sakura is a symbol of the speed of life).
2. Animals:

• dragon is a symbol of immense good luck;
• karp Koi and other fish - a symbol of wisdom, durability, courage;
• tiger symbolizes fearlessness, power, power;
• snake - a negative character, associate evil.

1. Divine. This includes sketches with the image of the plots from religion. In such drawings, it is possible to meet the faces of formidable deities, Buddha, etc.
2. Yakuza, samurai. They are associated with most people with gangster groups in Italy, but they originally appeared in Asian countries. They are a stigm of a member of the gang, apply such drawings on the chest. The image is a symbol of courage, fearlessness.
3. Nature. It can be images of beautiful landscapes, waves of the sea, which symbolize calm, harmony, sincere equilibrium.

The value of the skull in the Japanese tattoo is: the symbol of the "Great Change" or transition from the old to a new life.

On places of application

If we talk about places of location of such native drawings, it should be noted that the spin, chest, is best for this. If this is a tattoo on hand, then most likely this is a whole Japanese sleeve, because this style of tattoo art requires a large amount of space. To create a Japanese-style sleeve tattoo, you will need a lot of time, patience and money, but we recommend to be patient, because the result is worth it.
