In Japan tattooing is called Irezumi which denotes to inserting ink beneath the skin. There are some that think the art of tattooing in Japan dates back to at least 10,000 BC still there has never been any definitive proof to back up this belief.
What we do know for a fact is that tattoo designs were seen and mentioned by Chinese travellers between 300 BC and 600 AD. This does not affirm the widespread popularity of tattoos as it was also during this time that tattoos were looked at in a very negative light, outlaws were being marked with them as a form of penalization so that they would always be recognizable in any society that they subsisted.
