Daruma dolls are one of the most recognizable forms of Japanese folk art, so naturally Daruma tattoos are quite popular as well. Many times Daruma (or dharma) dolls are worked into traditional Japanese tattoos, but they also can hold their own by themselves. These tattoo designs are based off of the hollow wooden dolls that are regarded to be good luck charms. So if you have a Daruma tattoo you are going to carry the good luck talisman with you for the entirety of your life. This gallery of Daruma tattoos curated by Yallzee is sure to make you want to go out and get some ink of your own.
