Best Answer

Tattooing was common in ancient Japan, particularly as badges of station and honor amongst various groups. Samurai would have tattoos indicating rank, position, and allegiances. The type, style, number, and location of tattoos varied according to the social group in question; samurai, on the whole, would likely have had only a few number of tattoos, generally smaller in size, though frequently intricate.
