Most people invest time and effort in decorating their homes, gardens and even cars in an effort to express their own character. Some choose to express themselves through clothing, shoes or hairstyle. Achieving the final vision could take months, even years of commitment to complete. The art of expression is what truly makes us social creatures and is the foundation of culture. We express ourselves to give others a little picture of who we are, but how committed are we to what we express? How permanent would you make that expression? As expressed through interior decor, education and literature would you use your body as a medium? Everyone already does so through body language. You’d be surprised with how much your body language tells others about who you are and interestingly by changing your body language through volition you also modify your character. But what level of commitment is required to permanently paint your body?

The lady in the picture is a 25-year-old Japanese woman from Chiba who is quoted as saying “When you get a tattoo, something you can treasure the rest of your life is added to your body. There’s a feeling of joy to be had from that.” The tattoo is an image of an Oni, a demon in Japanese folklore. In recent times Oni have lost their wicked portrayal and have taken on a more protective form in certain cases as to ward off evil spirits or bring good luck. If this is the case, this lady must be very lucky. However, I am not certain what is written around the Oni which could give more detail on what she is trying to express. Whatever it is, it had to take a great deal of commitment on her part and personally from this I can see why tattooing is a form of art.

Buddhist Themed Irezumi

Increadible Sexy Girl Japanese Tattoo Design on Back Body

Called Irezumi (入れ墨 or 入墨), tattooing has a long history in Japan- tattooing for spiritual and decorative purposes is thought to extend back to approximately 10000 BC there. As observed by Chinese visitors around 300 BC – 300 AD, certain designs were thought to have spiritual significance as well as functioning as a status symbol. Traditional irezumi is still done by specialist tattooists, but it is painful, time-consuming and expensive which can take 1-5 years of once-per-week visits to complete.

I for one am considering getting an irezumi tattoo at some point when I stay in Japan. Not at the scale of the pictures, but definitely something with the same amount of uniqueness, consideration and personal importance. Many do so on a whim, but when considered as an art form what picture or message would you permanently communicate to others?
