15 Intense Shibari Tattoos

Shibari tattoos are paying a tribute to an old Japanese art involving ropes and eroticism.

Westerners are usually considering shibari as fetichism, a Japanese form of bondage. But actually, in Japanese tradition and for those practicing it, shibari is an art mixing spirituality, beauty and sensuality. The nude model, tied and suspended, is experimenting a deep connection with her or his partner, as well as with her or his sensation. Shibari tattoos have become quite popular in the last years. They celebrate the artistry and eroticism of this form of expression. If you enjoy the sensuality of ropes and body art, you could be attracted by these shibari tattoos...
