It depends which one.

The Yakuza is like an army in that all have specific ranks.

When you do a good job, you are promoted.

Like I said, going to prison is considered an honour which will gain you promotion on release.

I guess the smartest Yakuza keep their pinkies, make good money, stay alive and out of trouble.

Don't forget to read Shoko Tendo's Yakuza stint Story. Girls With Guns: News - Gangster daughter sheds light on Japan underworld

But is it a must for a yakuza to have a tattoo like that or it depends of the "hierarchy" of the member within the organization?
It might be both.
