Here are some more information for Japanese Lady:
The other day I saw a young beautiful female with a large koi fish tattoo half sleeve on her arm. It was a beautiful tattoo and well executed. It was placed perfectly on the arm of a beautiful girl. Most people would just be happy to notice the tattoo and pretty lady and move on. However for me it bothered me. In fact the tattoo and design stuck in my mind for some time. I kept wondering if the young lady knew the background of the tattoo and the symbolism behind it. Thus lead to a debate that I had in my mind does it really matter if you know the symbolism behind a certain tattoo design or is it just beautiful art that one can use to cover their body?
The Whole Picture
You see this is something that is more pandemic then you would think at first. Sure everyone knows about the badly done Japanese Kanji tattoo and we can all laugh at another persons misjudgment as they get a tattoo that they think says one thing when it in fact is in mirror image or days something totally different. However, Japanese tattoos are now becoming very popular and more to the point this trend goes way beyond just Japanese tattoos. If you really think about it the art of tattooing has borrowed from many different cultures and traditions and most of the designs in the world of tattoos are very diverse symbols borrowing from a variety of sources. So it is really important to know something about each culture and to know what the symbol stands for the significance behind it. Just think this could play out in the are of Hawaiian and Polynesian tattoos Maori tattoos and other tribal designs. It also comes into play even with traditional American tattoos like the nautical star for example. It also is very relevant of course in Japanese tattoo designs but also Celtic tattoos.
Know Your History
Where do you fall on the spectrum or in this debate? Are you someone who thinks that the symbols are important enough hat one should do some research and know the importance of the symbol. How far should the person go before getting the tattoo? Is just asking the tattoo artist at the tattoo shop enough background information to get the design inked on your arm? Can you even trust what that person is telling you? It really starts to bring up a whole host of questions. However, at least for me I think it is important to know the history of the tattoo and the symbolism and meaning of the design. When other people see it and especially if they are from that culture they might have a completely different interpretation of the design and the meaning of it then I do. So, on that not it seems pretty important to at least know where the design came from originally and what it means.
It Doesn't Matter
Then there is the other side which I also understand and these people would state it really doesn't matter where the tattoo design originally came from. Times have changed and in the world of tattoos it is all about individualism and self reliance. Therefore one can ascribe any meaning to any tattoo design they want. For example a koi fish does not have to mean strength and individuality it can be something of beauty instead and because one likes the colors. A symbol is just a symbol and anyone can ascribe any meaning or importance to it they want.
From A Tattoo Artists Perspective
Of course many would want to fall back on the professional in this case the tattoo artist. However, they as a group would offer a variety of opinions on the subject also. For example if you speak to a Japanese master level tattoo artist of course he is going to tell you that the symbol is everything and of course one should know all about it before getting the design done. Yet the tattoo artist that is more a general practitioner so to speak and does a wide variety of tattoo designs would say in the end it doesn't really matter as long as the client pays. After all tattoos for the tattoo artist are about business and their own livelihood.
Where Do You Fall
So where do you fall? Have you gotten a tattoo that you did not know anything about to start out with or are you the type that does a complete research project before getting the ink done. It is pretty easy to see the debate can go either way and in the end it will be different for each person. I for one am more of a traditionalist and I think the symbolism and history behind it are very important. For more free information on tattoo designs, galleries and Hot Tattoo Designs.

Japanese Chin: A Simply Delightful Oriental Breed
The Japanese Chin comes from the land of Chrysanthemums and sunshine like their short-faced prototypes the King Charles Spaniel and Pekingese. They can trace their descent far into a dim past and share the distinction of being Court favorites in their own country for centuries. The Japanese people like to breed very small dogs appropriate for carrying in the big sleeves of their flowing costumes. The Japanese Chin was also called a sleeve or chin dog. The Japanese sometimes held these little dogs under their chin. The Japanese Chin is such a sweetie of a breed. It continues to increase in popularity.
The exact origin of the Japanese Chin is unfortunately a point of which there is no authentic information. Some historians believe the Japanese Chin were developed in the Northern part of China; others say they are descendants of the short-faced spaniels of Thibet. Peking has also been mentioned as the birth place of the Japanese Chin.
Wherever the beginnings of the Japanese Chin it is one fact for certain they were highly prized by the elite of their sunny island for centuries. During the time when nobles and their fighting retainers ruled Japan each great house of Japan owned its own particular strain. All the Japanese Chin strains were carefully guarded in purity and no intermingling with other strains were allowed. Noble ladies were in charge of taking care of these tiny creatures. The Noble ladies also greatly cherished and petted the little sweetie pie of a Japanese Chin.
In their days of royalty living they lived in bamboo cages. Oh how wonderful it must have been in those days to have been a part of the lives of these sweet little creatures. I think I would have enjoyed very much myself being a Noble lady in charge of taking care of the Japanese Chin!
All good things seem to come to an end, however, as did this lifestyle for the Japanese Chin. The feudal nobles were dethroned and their little Japanese Chin that had been so carefully guarded for such a long time were scattered through the length and breadth of their native land. Now we find so many separate and distinct types of Japanese Chin in Japan. Since the Japanese Chin is essentially a dainty toy breed, the smaller they are the better, provided type and character are never lost sight of.
When breeding the Japanese Chin, stamina is a quality in which one probably should aim for that can usually come from a larger sire. It seems that throughout the history of breeding Japanese Chin it has been noted that a small matron has one or two large puppies, while a larger one (6 to 8 lbs) has a more numerous family of smaller ones (and small is the goal when breeding Japanese Chin) and being bred from sturdy parents the puppies will most likely be sturdy (even these small ones).
When Japanese Chin puppies are first born they need a lot of warmth and should live in a room of an even temperature of at least 70 degrees. As puppies able to run about they should never be allowed out on damp or cold days. They should be encouraged to play out in the sun on warm days. As they grow older they should become accustomed to a cooler room and more outdoor exercise. The little Oriental dogs seem to love the sunshine and it is so amusing to watch their mad dashes out the door to relish the warmth of the sunlight. When the Japanese Chin is thoroughly happy they can be the wildest-spirited little creature you could ever imagine.
The Japanese Chin is simply a delightful little Oriental breed.
