Zombie bite tattoos are gaining popularity in Japan (3 photos)
An unusual tattoo trend is gaining popularity in Japan: designs that mimic zombie bites, which look like the teeth marks of the undead on the skin. Tattoo parlors report that more and more clients are requesting these designs, sometimes with several people coming in with this idea in a week.
This creative motif has become a notable phenomenon among other atypical tattoo styles favored by fans of horror aesthetics and pop culture. Tattoos in Japan traditionally have a deep history and cultural roots, but modern trends also reflect the influence of Western horror and science fiction genres.
