Surely you already know that Japanese tattoos on the back have a very peculiar origin (and that is why they are not very well seen in their country), since, at the beginning (and so at the beginning: in the XNUMXth century), criminals tattooed themselves in this area of the body to hide the fact that they belonged to a criminal gang (the trick was to tattoo their back and leave enough space in arms so as to be able to roll up their sleeves without raising suspicions).

People with Japanese tattoos on their back are known as horimono. The subjects they used to tattoo on include delicacies such as designs inspired by the kabuki and in Japanese or Chinese mythology.
The way of tattooing was also a ritual for the horimono and the tattooist. The way of tattooing of yesteryear was much more painful (and laborious) than now (before they even fainted!). Enduring pain without question was a ritual that created a very special bond between tattooed and tattooed. The tattoo artist even allowed himself (although in a very discreet way) to sign his works on the skin of the tattooed person.
