My husband has a large tattoo over his stomach. Wasn't able to go to the onsen with everyone else. Some of them allow tattoos if you can cover them. He also looks Japanese, which didn't help the situation.
I always love when tattoos look beautiful like that. But I always wonder what it's going to look like when she gets old, and the skin starts to sag. It might look even more badass!
nice to look at like this, maybe once in real life, but living with this on a daily basis? no thanks. there is not a piece in the world i would want to see daily on my skin
While this style of full back tattoo is currently associated with the Yakuza that wasn't always the case. There was a time in Japan when firefighters used to get full back tattoos, as a way for their fellows to identify their body should the unfortunate happen when putting out fires. It used to be a mark of great respect, too, as their line of work was a dangerous one.
Lived in of Japan for yrs and around the shadier bar areas. I agree that's yakuza ink level. It's the same as stripes on a snake or bright colors on a frog. It means don't fuck with me. The girls that openly strut around wearing that don't get bother or you get broken. I got stuck in a bar after following a lady tatted up like that. They turned the elevator off when I got in and ended up being forced to spend almost 1k to before they let me leave. At least I got booze out of it.
Yakuza tatoos have meaning, to get it, the master has to agree with it/has to be earned. the fact she is showcasing can tell you she's not as for them tattoos are a private thing. "Yakuza style" tattoos are common, so not every full body tattoo is yakuza :) if that helps :D
From what I understand, the yakuza is also discouraged from publicly displaying their tattoos. Partly because tattoos are still a taboo in Japan, also because they don’t want to draw attention to themselves, and also because they deem modesty as a virtue.
correct! a minor thing, but a good number of hot springs there don't allow you to enter if you have tattoos. westerners may be able to get by just because they're not japanese though.
It's so sad the originally full body tattoos were a sign of bravery as fire fighters the centuries would have them so they can be identified if they died while on duty. But due to the yakuza, the past century has turned it into a sign of dishonor.
Only caution I'd heard was for people getting tattoos using metallic ink. You have to warn your docs before getting an MRI in that area, because it can cause skin burns.
The skin still works normally, sweat etc, but I notice that the black ink work in direct sunlight get noticeably warmer than my normal skin. Also certain colours are more likely to fade if exposed to direct sunlight, such as red ink
Nah that's not it. I actually won't do tattoos cause I'm a total pussy with my skin. I just always wondered if that was an issue people with tats deal woth
Im terrified of needles. My whole back is done. Can't see the needle, no problem. As for the pain scale, it's a 2 or 3 out of 10 for me. Feels more like someone scratching my skin rather than poking. Never have problems with sweat or temperature either, even when healing, or at least I never noticed.
That's the funny bit. I'm not afraid of needles. And I've done massive damage to my skin. I'm a machinic, so my arms are full of scars and burns. Something about having a tattoo gives me the willies though. Add the expense and I can't see paying money for something like that. But that's just me. I respect the art and dedication. Just can't do it

Cool today. In 3+ years… not so much as it fades.

She is not allowed into the Japanese Onsen bathhouses I learned on a video. They don`t allow tattooed people for some reason.

That is indeed, cool af.
ChristopherTallant
I’d love to know how long that level of detail took to ink.
mediumsizedtittycommittee
I have more detail but I'm about 8 hours into a 20-24~ hour back piece. Her shoulders/arms were probably another 16 hours or so.
stuart1965
WoodHandle
How long do those colors look that good?
DankPelican
as long as you keep it out of the sun, and dont get wrinkly or lose/gain too much weight at once, your tattoos will keep for years.
BOSSMOPS
I mean that's really cool and all but holy fuck am I jellious of her hair. That looks like pure silk!
Valatros
Right? I honestly thought the ink was referring to her hair, that's like, perfect jet black flowing-like-water....
youreathing
And she has all 10 fingers so she must not have committed any serious crimes against the family... yet.

If that's the issue have a back tattoo, then you'd never accidentally see it. Problem solved, world hunger ended.
Bonemamma
Thats ok tattoos are not for everyone.
Youhavinagiraffe
I'll be honest if I was regularly in a position to be looking at her back it's unlikely I'd be feeling bored...
ConfederacyOfDunces
If it's on your back you won't see it on a daily basis
phalanxausage
Yep! That's where all my in is. It's even mirror imaged so it looks right to me when I see it.

10/10 would totally look at the rest of her... tattoos.

That was wonderful. Thank you

I would love to see her naked for aesthetic reasons and not the bonking kind.

Step 1. Be attractive. Step 2. Get ink.

She's Yakuza, isn't she?

It's just irezumi, doesn't need to be Yakuza

It's probably all those murders she did that make her Yakuza....

No more bath house visits for her.
FPAlpha
I know and it makes me sad but that's cultural prejudices for you i guess. It is changing but very slowly.
dias103
Honestly, not a chance. If that were the case, she'd not show it like that, even if hiding her face
MeekrabJones
If so, it explains why they perfectly hid her face during the entire clip.
jaakkopaakkonen
If this is in Japan, it sure is
NatesSauceLab
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. This is definitely Yakuza. She’s owned. By choice, but still owned.

Like2Fox
Those tattoos are incredibly popular with many demographics across the world, so probably no
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Japan is trying to get rid of that stereotype.
VaultGirl69
Most countries are. It's a bit harder in Asian countries. Small tattoos have become very common in Korea.

Looks like a depiction of Torahime, though- so . . . not impossible. UNLIKELY- IMPROBABLE. ... but not impossible.
PlayerBhatin
Yeah, I'm stil not going to mess with her.
BOSSMOPS
Me neither. The amount of hours she has gone through with needles poking through her skin? Yeah I'm just sitting there and be quiet lul.
DarkwingDuc
I'm assuming that was a joke, but thank you for the interesting information, regardless.
JustinArnold
Almost the same as modern gang tattoos. A fair few of them have meanings, and are a sort of score/advertisement board
AntiProtonBoy
From what I understand, the yakuza is also discouraged from publicly displaying their tattoos. Partly because tattoos are still a taboo in Japan, also because they don’t want to draw attention to themselves, and also because they deem modesty as a virtue.
Rubblebubble
correct! a minor thing, but a good number of hot springs there don't allow you to enter if you have tattoos. westerners may be able to get by just because they're not japanese though.

Is it racist if I say she looks just like Princess Jasmin?

only if you ask if it's racist

Eomund521
For those with large ink like this. Does it affect your bodies a ility to sweat, and / or deal with heat? Always been curious about that.
BeeWoman
You should compare a tattoo wound with a graze. When it's healed, the skin performs again like it did before. Doesn't matter how big the tattoo is.
NotAHugeSpider
Only caution I'd heard was for people getting tattoos using metallic ink. You have to warn your docs before getting an MRI in that area, because it can cause skin burns.

PleasantPeasantPheasant
https://authoritytattoo.com/do-tattoos-affect-athletic-performance/ Only temporarily while the tattoo is healing, after it has healed there's no discernable difference between tattooed and untattooed skin
Bonemamma
nope not at all, if you do have trouble with sweating then botox can stop it for a while

Nah that's not it. I actually won't do tattoos cause I'm a total pussy with my skin. I just always wondered if that was an issue people with tats deal woth
