Skull And Japanese Sleeve Tattoos

By Darren Hartley


Skull sleeve tattoos are awesome and perfect tattoos available in a variety of styles and colors. They are very suitable for both men and women who want to get unique and cool body ink art. They provide unique hallmarks in their projection of very prominent skull images.

Skull sleeve tattoos are also appropriate for tattoo lovers who want their tattoo art to be easily seen by everybody. For men, this type of tattoos gives them a more masculine image. The skull is a well liked tattoo symbol. This is probably because they can be portrayed with other appropriate symbols.

The portrait of the skull image in skull sleeve tattoos is one of universality and flexibility. It can be a force of fierceness and evil or an epitome of elegance and charm. It all depends on how the skull is depicted in the design. Its incorporation with other tattoo symbols can lead to the creation of a whole new theme specific only to that one particular tattoo.

Because they reproduce the beauty of paintings, Japanese sleeve tattoos are able to provide uniqueness in their designs. They put the art of body painting on a pedestal. Each and every Japanese tattoo design has its own meaning distinct from all the other designs.

Japanese sleeve tattoos containing an image of the Sakura or cherry blossom are life representations. While luck is the symbolism associated with Koi fish tattoos, strength from supernatural sources is what Japanese dragon tattoos signify. As to the Hannya mask tattoos, they are thought of to be bringers of good luck to the surroundings of its wearers.

Japanese sleeve tattoos containing the Hannya mask imagery do not have anything directly to do with Satan or the devil, contrary to popular opinion. Hannyas are terrestrial monsters with confused human feelings of passion, jealousy and hate. In Japanese theater, the mask is used to represent possession by the devil, release from which is a matter of devotion to Buddha. This is the concept of hell in Japanese Buddhism.
