Japanese Tattoos

Japanese Tattoos

Here are some cool tattoo scans right from Japan! I would like to thank my Twitter friend Oedozakura for getting these to me!
  • Pic 1: Japanese Punk Rocker
  • Pic 2: A group of Yakuza that come out in full force with their tats during seasonal Japanese festivals
  • Pic 3: Picture of Master Roppongi Horiryu at work, a tattoo master of considerable note in Tokyo's Roppongi district.
  • Pic 4: Examples more of Master Roppongi Horiryu art on two Yakuza from the Yamaguchi-gumi. The guy's tattoo on the RIGHT in the middle of his back on the left is a diamond shaped crest. This is the official crest of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the biggest syndicate in Japan.


And I have NO idea what it says in the articles! lol I also don't know the name of the magazine that these were from.
