That is why most Onsen or pool don't allow tattoos.

Well they do both. The one yakuza guy I knew owned a video arcade. I think he was involved in the yakuza just to make extra money. For the most part, what I way was lending money to people who couldn't get loans.

Mm... For a better look on the life of yakuza, read books such as Confessions of a Yakuza, and Yakuza Moon: Memoirs of a Gangster's Daughter. Both are very true biographies in the life of a yakuza.

And, there are documentaries out there about new yakuza members, and how they're coping with the whole adjustment, and why they joined in the first place. Most of the time, it is simply to make a quick buck.


The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

the tatoo's are hand tapped it allows for a wider range of colors they spend hundreds of hours getting them done.

they are beautiful works of art and i saw on tv that in some national japanese museums they had the skin of yakuza members on display. full bodies skinned and put on a rack. damn

Indeed they do.

They had a headquarters in Kyoto near to where I lived. It was an original very large traditional Japanese house.

My wife also served many in her hospital as a good load suffered from some sort of mental related diseases from stress.
