Kanji Tattoo Symbol for "Irezumi" ... BONUS!

More than likely, this isn't going to be a realistic tattoo design choice for most people. Instead, it's a creative play on tattoo lingo. The word for tattoo or tattooing in Japanese is irezumi and the kanji characters below, read from top to bottom, mean 'irezumi.' The variation in this piece of flash is that the English translation for irezumi, 'tattoo' is given in English as a pattern on the inside. The 'irezumi' tattoo design below is courtesy of Greg James!


Kanji for Irezumi with Tattoo Pattern




If you're looking for a kanji tattoo symbol, the book below is a great resource!
It'll provide even more examples of styles (and lots of tattoo choices too)
since the tattoo designs above were not taken from the book.

If you're feeling experimental, you might want to try these goofy little temporary tattoos.
Yes, it says "Chinese", but the red tattoo symbol on the left is clearly the kanji for love.
