These dot tattoos were symbolic and were also often used by lovers to indicate the places where their loved ones had touched them, such as the hand. On the other hand, during some other times the Japanese had tattoos were less like pictures and more like moles. During some periods, the design of these tattoos were rendered with intricate detail.

Aside from being used for making promises about love, the tattoo in Japanese society also evolved aesthetically. Some geishas will have their lover's names imprinted in their arms in order to show their promises of lasting love. An example of how Japanese tattoo designs were used to symbolize love was in the vow tattoo. The courtesans, artists, and even the geishas of Japan were all acquainted with tattooing and used it as personal markers of their religious backgrounds and who they love. This is the reason why one of the cherished values of the early Japanese people, religion and love, is often the primary motifs of the people's tattoos.

Like all arts, the Japanese learned to incorporate their most important values into their skin through tattoos. Japanese tattoos are rich in inspiration.
