A user recently posted photos from the book Bushido: Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo. The photos are copyrighted images and I don't think it's right to have them posted like that here. These are images that I made myself that detail the same information that user posted. It's a great book and I recommend picking it up here. Sorry for being a stickler.
The name of the book is Bushido: The Legacies of Japanese Tattoo

I found a book called "Bushido" which was fascinating. Tonnes of cool images and the author took the time to set out background and history quite a bit.

Bushido: legacies of the Japanese tattoo is an interesting read. There's been a few other times it's been asked, I think a quick search could bring those threads up
I can't really say much that other's haven't already, but if you are interested in traditions when it comes to what matches what and placement etc. I can recommend a good entry level (price wise) book called Bushido: Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo (link here to Amazon (UK)):
