Bath Girls and Tattoo
Bath Girls and Tattoo
Tattoos and sensuality are often connected. Nakano (1988) in her book titled Irezumishi no onnatachi (the wives of tattooists) states that tattoos have sex appeal, uncovering the practice of tattooing among Japanese women involved with the sex industry. "Soapland" is a place which men come in and choose a bath girl to have sexual pleasure with. "Soap" refers to a bathtub or bathroom. "Soapland" refers to the bathhouse with the brothel. However, technically, sex activities are not involved with this business. If the soap jo, bath girl of the soapland had tattoos, she would have been regarded as a "defective" product (Nakano, 1988). However, the number of tattooed girl-lovers has increased recently in order to satisfy their desire. The tattooed soap jos are becoming popular (Nakano, 1988). Some soap jos want to be covered with tattoos for their job.
Flower Tattoo
Flower tattoos are some of the most popular forms of body art chosen today. These versatile tattoos can be any size and placed practically anywhere on the body. The beauty, shape and colors of the various flower species make them eye-catching as single design elements or when paired with other elements such as crosses, hearts and waves. Flowers are also regularly featured with fierce animals such as tigers and panthers, adding both softness and an exotic flare. Regardless of whether one is searching for beauty, simplicity or symbolism, flower tattoos are timeless pieces that offer countless design possibilities.
