Tattoos in Japan date as far back as 10,000 B.C. during the Jomon period, where the indigenous people would get them for both spiritual and decorative reasons. During the Yayoi period (300 B.C.-300 A.D.), tattoos were obtained for spiritual reasons and also functioned as symbol of status. Japanese tattoos gained negative connotations during the Kofun period (300 A.D.-600 A.D.) due to criminals being marked with tattoos as punishment. During the Edo period (1600 A.D.-1868 A.D.), tattoos resumed their role as decorative pieces and gave way to Irezumi, or Japanese Traditional. Those who have Irezumi usually have full body, meaning that that have sleeves on both arms and legs, both side of the torso with nothing down the middle to conceal it while wearing a kimono, and the full back all the way down to the butt. Designs that are commonplace are dragons, tigers, snakes, koi fish, oni demons, samurai, and Asiatic flowers, such as the lotus. It is characterized by thin outlines, and a limited color palette, not unlike American Traditional, but not as saturated. Tattoos were fully legalized around 1948, but still had negative connotations as the Yakuza were the people who were mostly tattooed. To this day, various shops and public baths still prohibit doing business with citizens that have tattoos. Modern Japanese tattoos keep the same imagery with the addition of other designs such as daruma dolls, Buddha, phoenixes, and various Shinto kami, or gods. While the modern style has similar imagery, the outlines are bolder for the most part, the color palette is much broader, also including black and grey, and the color is much more saturated.
