"Parts of Japan gave criminals tattoos on their arms. Many are simple lines around the arm. On the bottom line, the third left, I can see the sign of “悪”, bad in Japanese. This was Kishu´s (紀州/now Mie and Wakayama prefecture) tattoo.
Sometimes arnband tattoo design is so simple and big placement and so welcome as I find, and big piece tattoo of blackwork is so popular on armband tattoos.
I love blackwork tattoos much especially heavy blackwork tattoo design. I am sorry for I have never heard of a specific meaning about blackwork tattoo design.
