I agree with Oren, Japanese tattoos do have some strong meanings behind them. I know i'm only 14, but my step-dad is a tattoo artist and he says that most of the tattoos he does for his customers have meanings behind them and reason. I personally want to be a tattoo artist when i grow up and i can understand why some people look at tattooed people think "why the hell would you get that tattooed on yourself?!?" or "That's ugly!" because we all look at things differently to each other. I just hope alot of people don't get tattoos because of the mainstream and popualarity because then you would look back at it and regret it, and you're also stuck with it for life.
