Yakuza Criminal Tattoos

It is usual within the yakuza circuits to tattoo themselves. Usually it is their clan’s badges that they have all over their body. The origin of the yakuza tattoo comes from the Bakuto. They usually tattooed a black ring around the arm for each rime they committed. Finally it became a symbol of strength. It can take over 100 hours to do an entire back tatoo. The tattoo was to illustrate you were unwilling to accommodate yourself to society’s rules and norms. Now it is to illustrate your clans affiliations.
