What a oni mask tattoo means
The oni is a powerful demon in Japanese folklore; as a tattoo it is worn for protection and strength.
Placement and size
It works best on the upper arm or shoulder, a low-pain spot with room for detail.
Style and how it ages
Japanese irezumi uses bold outlines, rich colour and backgrounds like waves and wind bars, usually at a large scale. Large size and strong outlines help irezumi age gracefully; colours may need a refresh after 10 to 15 years.
