I just had my sleeve finished. With traditional Japanese tattoos there are rules. I have a snake, peonies, a toad, a hannya, and water.

Yes but the rest of the tattoo is gonna be black with shading so color would stand out. I was thinking of putting in the number 1 and filling the star around the 1 outline black so the number would be naked skin if that makes sense.

Sorry, don’t have a pic so I guess my question is very vague. The 3rd star is on the forearm and is about 2 inches wide so pretty small.

Many thanks Sherav, yeah I remember suggesting a rising sun type tattoo to somebody before and they said that it might not go down well if you were ever in Japan. Lol, I hope to teach English in Japan for a while so just as well I found out it is a cultural taboo. So would you avoid those sunbeams all together? I am hoping to get the stars done…[Read more]
