1. Tattoos -- People
   Tattoos are growing in popularity, especially among women, and tattoo artists like Jennifer Schichi take a great deal of pride in their work. "What I do is going to be on them forever and I consider that a great honor that people allow me to do that."
2. Tattoos -- Bodies
   Tattoos are a very old form of body art and have been practiced from a very long time in civilized human history. The history of tattoos is very ancient and seems to be of thousands of years old and even before the birth of Christ. The recorded indication of tattoos comes from the ancient Egypt where wall paintings as old as 2000 BC have been suggesting the use of tattoos in the ancient Egyptian society.
3. Henna Tattoo
   Henna Tattoo, is an ancient form of body art, which appears in murals dating to at least 1680 BCE. It enjoyed popularity from the Mediterranean and North Africa to Persia, India and South Asia. Henna body art transcends religious and cultural lines, with Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus using it in regions where the henna plant is native. It specializes in intricate designs of intertwining delicate lines, often with a floral motif. These classic ethnic designs form exotic patterns, and henna is an ancient form of non-permanent or temporary tattoo.
4. Jolie -- Mighty Heart
   Jolie's inventory of tattoos has become the subject of much media attention and has often been addressed by interviewers. Jolie stated that, while she is not opposed to film nudity, the large number of tattoos on her body has forced filmmakers to become more creative when planning nude or love scenes.[81] Make-up has been used to cover up the tattoos in many of her productions. Jolie currently has 13 known tattoos, among them the Tennessee Williams quote "A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages", which she got together with her mother, the Arabic phrase "العزيمة" (strength of will), the Latin proverb "quod me nutrit me destruit" (what nourishes me destroys me),[82] and a Yantra prayer written in the ancient Khmer and Pali scripts for her son Maddox.[83] She ... has four sets of geographical coordinates on her upper left arm indicating the birthplaces of her children.[84] Over time she covered or lasered several of her tattoos, including "Billy Bob", the name of her former husband Billy Bob Thornton, a Chinese character for death (死), and a window on her lower back; she explained that she removed the window, because, while she used to spend all of her time looking out through windows wishing to be outside, she now lives there all of the time.[23]
5. Stephen Baldwin -- Jesus Christ
   Stephen says he gave his life to the Lord at that time, but his interest in Christianity didn't become strong until after the terrorist attacks on September 11th. In March 2002, Stephen was baptized at church.
6. Kanji
   Kanji is a form of written characters for the Japanese. So each Japanese kanji tattoo design carries with it ideas and meaning behind the character. Even though a specific design of the kanji tattoos appeals to you, you don't want to end up a laughing stock being "p**s" rather than "peace". Asking the tattoo artists, unfortunately, is no guarantee of finding out the true meaning of a kanji. After all, they are tattoo artists, not linguists of the Japanese language.
7. Kanji -- Japanese Kanji
   Kanji is the term for Chinese characters that are used in the Japanese language. There are two different types of characters that are used in written Japanese: kana, which includes the types of writing known as hiragana and katakana, and kanji. All written Japanese evolved from written Chinese, and were modified to create the different sounds of the Japanese language. Kanji in Japanese are typically characters from the Chinese language that have been adapted to mean Japanese words. The meanings in Chinese and Japanese can be the same but pronounced differently, or they may have entirely different meanings. Some kanji were developed in Japan and are not seen in the Chinese language at all.
8. Japanese -- Traditional Japanese
   Traditional Japanese music consisting of flutes are performed by artists. The Japanese wedding ceremony is conducted by a Shinto priest who first begins by purifying the couple. After the purification and vows are performed, the ancient wedding custom of sharing sake called "san san kudo" is performed.
9. Japanese -- People
   Unlike young people in other countries, Japanese kids and young people have few online friends. Japanese kids aged 8-14 have only one online friend they haven't met, compared to a global average of 5, while Japanese teenagers have only seven online friends they haven't met -- compared to a global average of 20. Japanese teens ... used IM and email the least out of the 16 countries surveyed.
10. Japanese -- Addition
    Popular animal subjects in Japanese tattoo designs come from all sorts of categories. They often portray the animals in the Chinese horoscope: the dog, the rat, the rooster, the dragon, the tiger, the goat, the horse, the pig, the ox, the monkey and the snake. In addition to these creatures, Chinese dragons, gibbons, spiders, fish (like the very popular koi fish); birds and foxes are commonly featured Japanese pictures. If you’re looking to make a truly breathtaking design, consider the octopus, a bonsai tree, or cherry blossoms.
