Sexy Japanese Tattoo for women

Women with dangerous looking yakuza tattoo

Attractive dragon tattoo on a woman's back. The tattoo looks to be of a combination of Chinese and Western influence. In the bottom left you can see the dragon and on the right its blends with a woman, there are also Chinese characters in the top left area of the tattoo.
This tattoo shows a good symbolic contrast between the powerful dragon and the femininity of the woman in the tattoo.
The dragon in the tattoo is not very traditional to the japanese or chinese style of dragon tattoos. Its more of a western influenced dragon. All in all its not a bad tattoo design, what do you guys think?

Tattoos in Japan and personal experiences

Matsuri (祭?) is the Japanese word for a festival or holiday. In Japan, festivals are usually sponsored by a local shrine or temple, though they can be secular. There is no specific matsuri days for all of Japan; dates vary from area to area, and even within a specific area, but festival days do tend to cluster around traditional holidays such as Setsubun or Obon. Almost every locale has at least one matsuri in late summer/early autumn, usually related to the rice harvest. Notable matsuri often feature processions which may include elaborate floats. Preparation for these processions is usually organized at the level of neighborhoods, or machi. Prior to these, the local kami may be ritually installed in mikoshi and paraded through the streets.
