	:True Japanese tattoos are typically full-body works of art incorporating historical and mythical imagery drawn using traditional artistic styles. The roots of Japanese tattooing goes back almost 2000 years; however the practice fell into disfavor during 7th century Japan due to the large adoption of Chinese culture. Later around the 17th century tattoos were used to identify criminals. In modern day Japan many locals have taken into their hands to shun people with tattoos out because of its association with criminal acts. Many local baths, pools and spas do not permit people with tattoos to enter or openly display their works. Generally, a person who has a tattoo will have trouble if they need to purchase a life insurance policy in Japan. Even though they can buy a life insurance policy, in Japan it is considered legal that a life insurance company can refuse an insurance payment for an insured person who has a tattoo. And Japan's hospitals will often times refuse an MRI exam for a tattooed person because several types of tattoo ink can cause a burn on their tattoo.		:True Japanese tattoos are typically full-body works of art incorporating historical and mythical imagery drawn using traditional artistic styles.

	:Phrases that you think might sound cool in English are very often in fact, usually ridiculous once translated into Japanese. "Shadow Warrior," "Spirit Woman" or "Free Spirit" might sound nice in English, yet anyone who can read Japanese would laugh at any one of these those translations and neither you nor your friends can understand your tattoo’s real meaning. Even well-thought out, well-researched and well-designed tattoos can be subject to mistakes during the tattoo process. The chances your tattooist does not read Japanese or Chinese is most likely 100%. He or she therefore has no idea whether or not they are properly writing the characters. Even minor errors can change your "Proud Warrior" script into "Proud Dirt." There have even been numerous examples of characters being tattooed upside down or in mirror-reverse. Just take a moment to imagine smiling ever so proudly as you show off your cool character tattoo that you think reads "Angel," all the while not realizing that it's an upside-down version of "Heaven’s Butt.” Just because someone told you that your character tattoo means "I dance with death," does not mean it does.		:Phrases that you think might sound cool in English are very often in fact, usually ridiculous once translated into Japanese.
