There are some slight misconceptions in this video. Tebori is not a name for tattooing, it`s a technic, tattooing itself is called iresumi (from Japanese word for engraving). There were a lot of 'normal guys' with tattoos even before Yakuza incorporated them in their culture, no they are not criminals.
It is sad to see the intricate tattoo culture among the Yakuza being smothered by more of a casual tattoo culture. I guess it's the way of the world for older customs to give way to modern ones, though it is a shame to see something like this go. I am glad we are learning and growing to accept and tolerate others, and I do not mourn seeing inequality diminish, but as this custom is not hurting anyone in on itself, it is a pity to have it disappear.
KaregoAt I agree that it's sad to see that the Yakuza's way of life will not be defined by their tattoos anymore especially because they had real meaning.But I think it's a good thing that tattoos grow in numbers. Since tattoos were something special only yakuza wore in japan for a couple hundred years, they became a symbol for crime. But the yakuza aren't the only society that has a tradition of wearing tattoos. My people tattooed themselves for centuries. We engrave symbols and certain animals into our skin to mark certain passages and obstacles of our lives. Because of the yakuza however I'm looked at with disgust and am forbidden to enter many establishments in japan because of my tattoos which are my way of life. Also not everybody wears them for fashion. Many wear them as symbol of individuality in a world that grows bigger and bigger day by day to distinguish themselves from the mass and, figuratively speaking, to avoid losing themselves. I think it's good that we begin to stop discriminate against tattoos in japan, but yes, it's sad to see the Yakuza's way of life vanish. Especially I can understand how they must feel about that since my culture is also heavily linked to ink.
Actually, it’s the ordinary people taking irezumi back from the yakuza. Before the yakuza started their tradition of getting irezumi it was blue collar workers, firefighter and construction workers in particular, who were getting irezumi.
KaregoAt , links? No, but I have a large collection of books about irezumi. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding one or two. The library may have some, too. Look for The Japanese Tattoo, by Donald Richie and Ian Buruma.
CWTHenrik this guys just another Elder stuck in the past. Tattooing is an art and form of self expression. He's a ex-old school gangster and tattoo artist, not someone you should to for rational opinions about culture lmfao
Zampano PKMN MASTER Each culture that's past brought some meaning to the people who experienced it. He's simply asking for recognition of that culture that passed, and finds himself excluded of today's culture since he's no longer a youth. I can relate to that.
Ebvardh Boss Not to mention that flaunting these tattoos willy nilly makes you look like a some sort of suck up wannabe. Tattoos should have meaning, context. If you slap on a tattoo just because you think it makes you look cool or something without considering its historical context,you are, and will always be, a wannabe.
Salty its about the artwork. Tattoo's obviously didn't become popular because of "Historical context " It doesn't really matter why the first person to tattoo a coy fish thought it meant to his peers weather it his shipmates or his gang. All that matters to you is that you think it's beautiful and would not mind wearing the design on your body. A.K.A you're just being pretentious get over yourself
Does anybody know, if it's possible for a gaijin to find him in Tokyo? As he neither uses Internet, nor any other form of modern technology, aside from his TV and a normal Phone, I find it rahter difficult to find any information about his whereabouts. The only thing I know, is that his "studio" is supposed to be somewhere in Shinjuku, but that area is pretty big... I would be immensly greatful for any information on this topic! (Of course it is highly unlikely he would tattoo some random guy, but anyways... :D)
How can the "program manager" by consultation with head of any affected department or agency, by statutory authority: "shall have and exercise governmentwide authority" accomplish their duty more effectively as any event of "terrorism" by time period, single or multiple events, is analyzed by consultation with the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board established under section 2000ee of title 42(6 USC § 485 Information sharing)? Are "escalation indicators" common sociology (10 USC § 409)?
Almost all the Yakuza in this video are lieutenants, with the exception of the younger guy he’s a lower rank, only the Boss can tattoo his entire body.
The Truth, no. Maybe is some anime or cartoon, but not in real life. Yakuza get the tattoo they want, in the colors they want, when they want it. There are lots of good books ( non-fiction) about both irezumi and the yakuza, and you will find no reference in them to yakuza needing to earn their tattoos or the color in them.
The Truth, hehehe....full of lies? I meant read a book about the yakuza, not the Bible. But, yes, you could go straight to the source and ask a yakuza. Be prepared to drink heavily, mate.
When the public policy and moral order is considered by the Peoples Republic of China, how does rule of law by UN standards interpret Art. 2 term "criminal organization" Organized Crime Prevention Act; Art. 169 Civil Code "another person"..."shall be liable to the third party as a person"? Within "United States" (10 USC § 101 Definitions).
I like what he said about piercings and tattoos, that they should be kept private so as to not lose meaning like im getting a sort of japanese/chinese(im aware different cultures but the one im getting can apply to both) sleeve and im gonna hide it as much as possible i also do this with my tongue piercing because no one cares about your eyebrow piercing or your "familia" tattoo except you so keep them to yourselves and keep it special to you. When even my grandmother who is in no way shape or form a badass is getting a tattoo soon, tattooing has officially become too mainstream imo.
Al Sahir it’s like getting scalps it’s more of a prize like only the most sick and eccentric of people have them like some heads of yakuza and other criminal organizations
Even at the time of upload of this video, there are no laws in Japan about the prohibition of getting tattoos. Tattoos have been decriminalized since the 40's. The maker should have done his research...
Jennifer Bibi I'm pretty sure she's a yakuza though because life isn't always easy when you have a tattoo while living in Japan. Worst if a get a yakuza style tattoo that covers your chest and arms and you're a girl. Cute or not, to me she's one of them.
Not meant to be shown in public? what a load of shit lol. Maybe in his personal opinion that has been shaped by his past and culture.. but outside of that very narrow perspective.. tattoos are not "meant" to be anything.. you don't get to dictate that.. it's just ink on the body.. it's art.. people can do what ever the fuck they want with their own art. I don't see any logical reason as to why it should not be shown in public in recent times, even in Japan, since that mentality is mainly just the old people and it's dying real fast. So.. yea that's bullshit. I understand that he doesn't like it in the same way the encyclopedia britannica hates wikipedia.. but that just sounds like a personal problem.
Directly after I called it a load of shit, I literally said "Maybe in his personal opinion", you buffoon. I was giving my own opinion whilst recognising that he has his opinion. I just disagree. It's also very counter productive to start name calling off the bat.. obviously that makes people defensive and then the conversation is rarely productive, or you get called a buffoon in retaliation lol. Only because you said a really silly thing though and I couldn't resist. Usually I refrain. It's like you didn't even read past the very first line...
Siberius Wolf exactly, youre a little bitch because you knew it was his personal opinion and why he had that opinion but still found a way to get triggered
"Triggered"? hahaha. I am 3rd wave feminazi level 99 Triggered over this one. Boy it really rustles my jimmies :P I see his point and where he is coming from, I showed that level of perspective and understanding. But I still disagree and I explained why. He has his opinion.. I understand his opinion.. I give my opinion. All is good. The only one getting triggered over me just giving my opinion.. is you. What are you so grumpy about and why are you calling me a "little bitch" lol. I'm just sharing an opinion. You can have your opinion too, I won't stop ya. I'm just a little perplexed by it is all. The very act of you getting clearly worked up and triggered over my opinion, in your own logic, means that *you* think, that *you* are a "little bitch" yourself. Unless you want to be logically inconsistent.
Siberius Wolf yakuza tattoos aren't supposed to be seen by the public and that's just the way it is, not really his opinion, notice how the tattoos stop right at certain parts of the arm or the chest and back, because when you wear your regular clothes you can't see the tattoos unless you roll your sleeves or undress, being a yakuza is literally being a criminal so it's not an art statement, western culture is completely different from eastern
was totally caught off guard
The artist can lay the paths, but the man chooses which one to walk.

There were a lot of 'normal guys' with tattoos even before Yakuza incorporated them in their culture, no they are not criminals.
I forgot the quote exactly, but to me, what can’t be seen easily is what makes it more beautiful, such as tattoos
A bit late. But maybe you're referring to "There is beauty in things that are hidden"-Horiyoshi III ?
It is sad to see the intricate tattoo culture among the Yakuza being smothered by more of a casual tattoo culture. I guess it's the way of the world for older customs to give way to modern ones, though it is a shame to see something like this go.

Wrong. Any yakuza can get a full body tattoo, if they wish. I’ve seen young, under 30 years old, yakuza getting full body tattoos.
No I think his right you have to earn the tattoo the you have to earn the color as well
The Truth, no. Maybe is some anime or cartoon, but not in real life. Yakuza get the tattoo they want, in the colors they want, when they want it. There are lots of good books ( non-fiction) about both irezumi and the yakuza, and you will find no reference in them to yakuza needing to earn their tattoos or the color in them.

I want a big tattoo on my back, but where to find a good trusty artist in Germany?
Christian Schäfer / ZANGOJOE Aushcwitz
WOOOWWW!!
Germany: one of the few places tattoo ink is regulated and not full of cancer-causing heavy metals!
Markus Lenhard, he is from Germany and is an excellent tattoo artist.
Very interesting.
i'll show my tattoos in public anyway , but ty for recomendation
Public showing is tasteless
How much do those tattoos cost?
I got a half sleeve for 12 hours, 100 US dollars an hour
+inflames07 in japan or somewhere else? also are you japanese?

Does having a yakuza tatoo get you killed?
Mark Kimura it could some people actually hunt some yakuza clan members for their tattoos and skin them and put them up like works of art
@@rokkfel4999 no way...can you tell me a bit more

Beautiful and deadly

Exactly. xP
Jewish you were this stylish
😒
she might not be. they said in the beginning of the video that people who aren't Yakuza are starting to get those types of tattoos
Jennifer Bibi
I'm pretty sure she's a yakuza though because life isn't always easy when you have a tattoo while living in Japan. Worst if a get a yakuza style tattoo that covers your chest and arms and you're a girl. Cute or not, to me she's one of them.

*thanks virgin*
i like japan tatoo..wow
Konnichi Wa Bitches!
Are women allowed to be yakuza? is it an obligation for them to be tattooed?
+GMLFree They are an integral part of the Yakuza. Women are very persuasive and can easily attract a mans eye. Very useful.
