Intro, Yakuza-style

Hey everyone and mushi mushi.

This blog’s purpose is to explore the uniqueness of Yakuza tattoos. All three of us who contribute to this blog are tattoo fanatics, as well as multimedia designers, so our curiosity is more than academic, it’s downright personal. We are attracted and fascinated by the ceremonial nature that tattoos have for the Yakuza inner circle, where tattoos are not only a personal statement, but a way of defining ones self, as well as their beauty. We hope to gather some info on them here and give those who are interested a platform to add their own stories and knowledge.

We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
