S3E5: Tattoo Taboo
In this episode of Nihongo Master podcast, we talk about the “taboo” topic of tattoo culture in Japan.
Tattoos have made a mark (pun intended) way back in Japanese history — would you believe me if I say that it goes as far back as 5,000BC? The primaeval tale of Japanese tattoos carved the scene of this art-on-skin today. From generation to generation, Japanese tattoo artists were taught the ancient skills that shaped the tattoo culture today.
Japan has built quite a reputation for itself when it comes to tattoos — on both ends of the stick, actually. While people all around the world look up to the unique Japanese tattoo art, the locals aren’t exactly fond of them.
Discover the backstory of this Japanese body art and how it has evolved to this day. Have your ink pens ready as we’ll be dropping a few cool new vocabulary words related to all things tattoo.
