The Yakuza Tattoos

Many years ago in the time of the Shogun, the Japanese Authorities would tattoo criminals to make them stand out from the rest of the population. These would take the form of black rings on the arms. As the sentence and convictions increased, so would the rings on the arms.

These tattooed men would stick together and form gangs and eventually they would be known as "Yakuza". These tattoos where worn proudly as symbols of status and these "Yakuza tattoos" developed into magnificent, ornate tattoos that covered the whole body. These Yakuza tattoos have been known to take over two years to complete.

The Yakuza are believed to be one of the largest organized crime factions in the world and have been around longer than the mafia and their history can be traced back to the year 1612.

For the Yakuza it doesn't matter which country you come from or from which class of society you belong to, Yakuza members must be willing to die for their boss.

Today's many Yakuza gang factions are patriarchal in nature but women are integral parts of Japan's gangland society. Wives, mistresses and girlfriends of top Yakuza figures often undergo extensive tattooing. These women sometimes use tattoos to demonstrate their affiliations with the gang lifestyle. In some cases it's done to show loyalty and obedience to the Yakuza member they are involved with.

"Irezumi" is the art of tattooing in Japan. This word means "insertion of ink". This can be referred to a tattoo artist, the person who gets the tattoo, or the tattoo itself.

The Japanese Samurai who would tattoo themselves so if they died in battle would also use tattoos and their clothes and armor looted after; there would still be a means for them to be recognized.

In modern Japan, it is now widely thought that if you have a tattoo you are in the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia. A lot of establishments, especially hot springs and bathhouses, will not let you enter their establishment if you have any form of tattoo.

The Shanghai Triad Tattoo

Dear Avid Readers. This blog is mostly for all the men in my family...namely, the Shanghai Triad. Recently, I came upon a trend that reminded so much of Yours Truly's male family members that I have decided to dedicate an entire post to that trend, I believe, got started by the Shanghai Triad. Before I get too much into it, let me preface it by saying that many, many moons ago, the boys of the Shanghai Triad grew out there hair and all got tattoos.
Well, shortly after they decided to do this one member of the Shanghai Triad decided to get hitched. The day of the wedding came, binaca was sprayed, bouquets were thrown and mustaches were drawn. It was an amazing day. Well, little did Yours Truly expect it, then, but a short few years later a new trend has spread that is the birth of the combination of the Shanghai Triad's Genius. I call it The MUSTACHE TATTOO!
The Extreme Curl. This is the curl for someone with something to prove. Either way for an in-depth look at this sweeping trend from one of the highest, and most decorated news sources please watch what I call "The Sweep of the Tattooed 'Stache"
Please enjoy. I love you Shanghai Triad.

Beijing Hosts 2007 China Tattoo Convention Centre

Though tattoos in China still draw scorn from Chinese elders and double-takes from straight-laced youth, this weekend China's tattoo enthusiasts gathered in Beijing for China's Tattoo Show Convention 2007. Until recently, tattoos in China were reserved for those with ties to organized crime, a prison record or membership to one of China's tribal minorities for whom body art has long been a custom. In today's China, as evidenced by over 1000 tattoo artists, suppliers and amateurs from all of China's provinces who attended the opening ceremony, the tattoo has taken on a entirely new and mainstream cultural significance.

The 3-day convention at the Sunshine Art Space in Beijing opened Saturday morning with a welcoming ceremony and a sign-up session for anyone who wished to get tatted during the event. The following days included various tattoo competitions, a comparative exhibit on Chinese and Western tattoo philosophies and different presentations of tattoos within China and all over the world. As China has taken its cultural cues from the West in recent years, and has experienced increased exposure to rock, Hip Hop music and NBA players (nearly half of whom are tatted), the tattoo has become an accessory that defines the modern, rebellious nature of today's Chinese youth culture. More and more Chinese youth, for whatever reason, are re-examining the tattoo as not a willful imperfection imposed upon the body, but as an expression of popular fashion. Tattoo parlors can be found in the smallest Chinese cities serving the impulse of China's hip to indelibly mark their bodies with designs and words.

The convention concludes Monday night with awards and a closing ceremony. As tattoo culture catches on in today's China, the Tattoo Show Convention will surely attract more and more tattoo enthusiasts in years to come.

Tattoos in China and A Chinese Tattoos

Ever since seeing Beijing’s punk poster-boys Reflector at Xining’s Material Life Music Bar, I’ve been thinking an awful lot about tattoos. This Material Life Music Bar was full of inked Chinese and foreigners; it was the highest volume of tattoos I’d seen in a while and the inspiration for the following rant.

There are two topics I’ve been thinking about: i) Having Tattoos in China and ii) Getting Tattoos in Foreign Languages (especially Chinese or Tibetan).

Even though in recent times tattoos have become slightly more acceptable in the Chinese mainstream, tattoos still carry a social stigma. This article from China Daily showcases the growing trend of tattoos among China’s young people, but also hints at the slow-changing tattoo-wariness shared by the traditionally minded.

The wariness is easy to understand given the sordid history of tattoos in China. In his article “Street Scenes of Subalternity,” Michael R. Dutton explains some philosophical and historical background about why tattoos remain subversive in Chinese culture:

Dutton continues by describing how gangs of criminals adopted tattooing as a way to forge group identity and to “mark [themselves] outside the society.”

To sum up, tattoos have traditionally been the mark of outcasts and organized criminals. I’ve also heard it said that prostitutes also favor having tattoos, possibly as group identifiers or, more innocuously, as preferred ways for covering up unsightly scars.

Beautiful Pigs get tattoos

Beautiful Pigs get tattoos

I did a story a while back that got more feedback than just about anything I’ve done. The city council banned the practice of tattooing fish, which surprised a lot of people who had no idea anyone was tattooing fish.

Apparently owners of an art gallery in Shanghai agree in spirit with the Oklahoma City Council, as they have banned designer tattooed pigs from an art show.

A Belgian artist tattooed the pigs as part of an art exhibition, but gallery owners found it in poor taste. I have nothing against tattoos, but I doubt if a pig would freely choose to be tatted with the Louis Vutton logo. Maybe if he let the get inked with a lovely slop design…

The Tribal Sun Tattoo Designs

As someone who has tattoos myself, I can fully understand how difficult it can be to choose an appropriate design that you want on your body for the rest of your life. It is difficult to really see something that is of true interest to you, or that best suits exactly why you want your new tattoo. I have sat for hours attempting to decide. Finally though you manage it. Some of the most interesting designs for this are the sun and tribal tattoo designs.

It is sometimes incredibly difficult however to chose between the two. First you can not find any, and then you find two that you like so much you wish you could combine them together. With a pen and paper besides me I have often sketched out the many different tattoos attempting to see how best they fit together, and I am incredibly lucky to have a friend who is an artist to help me out.

If you are not as lucky as I am though, the best thing about tattoo parlours is that quite often they offer the service of creating and drawing tattoos specifically for you. This allows you to have your own original tattoo. But it will come at a small price. Now, finally, you have picked out your tattoo, a combination of a tribal and sun tattoo design.

The sun tattoo design is usually a rather plain design. Most of the time those who do choose to have this will want to customize it in some way, whether this is with a personalized sun design, with a picture within the sun, or with another tattoo, the sun is an easily customizable design which means you can have an original tattoo upon your body.

An excellent one to combine along with the sun tattoo design is a tribal tattoo design. Tribal tattoo designs are often seen as intricately woven, thick black lines, which can be adapted and changed to surround the sun designs, and together the tribal sun tattoo design can be a beautifully created design for you.

Tribal Dragonfly Tattoos Galeri

Even in real life, a dragonfly has a sort of fairy tale quality to it. It’s about the size that we would imagine a fairy to be, with beautiful, gossamer wings. At the same time, unlike a fairy or butterfly, dragonfly tattoos are not categorically feminine. They have a universal appeal. Dragonfly tattoo designs can easily be given a bold tribal look, for example, that’s quite masculine.

On the other hand, they can also be subtle and sketchy, or elaborate and colorful. Many dragonfly images are both beautiful and ugly at the same time – for example, the delicate wings of the dragonfly are juxtaposed with its insect eyes and segmented body – just as they are in nature. From far away, it looks like a fairy tale creature, but close up, it’s definitely of this earth. Like the creature that inspired it, a dragonfly tattoo is indicative of a person who cannot be easily categorized.

Tips For Tattoo Aftercare

All the hard work could be wasted on your body art without proper tattoo aftercare. It’s easy to keep your tattoo looking great if you follow a few simple steps.

Step 1: Let Your Tattoo Heal
Your artist will give you some specific instructions as how to help your tattoo heal. In starting your tattoo will probably be covered with a bandage. In starting days, you will be instructed to:

Take out the bandage off after a few hours. Mostly it is recommended to you to leave the bandage on for about two hours. Wash your hands and dry them thoroughly before taking off the bandage.

Gently rinse the tattoo and the area around it with mild soap and water. Instead of using a sponge or a washcloth, lightly rub the soap and water on your tattoo with your fingers.

Using a very soft towel, dab the tattoo until it is dry.

Allow the tattoo to dry before putting on any lotions or moisturizers.

Step 2: Keeping Your Tattoo Moist
The most important thing you can do to ensure long-lasting color is to keep your tattoo moisturized. The moisture will prevent the tattoo from developing a scab, which can rob it of color.

There are many different products standard moisturizing creams and antibiotic ointments to lotions specifically made for body art, like Tattoo. There are many product which can be used in the way to use the moisturizer is pretty standard.

Using clean and dry fingers to apply the cream into the tattoo. Wipe off the extra cream. Using too much moisturizer is bad as not using any at all is also. Keep the tattoo exposed to air and don’t cover it with any bandages. Reapply moisture several times a day.

Step 3: Avoiding the Sun
Exposing it to the sun may damage your tattoo, especially when it’s still new. Sunburn can cause a scab to form over the tattoo, which may scar the skin and fade the ink. You will need to follow this step of tattoo aftercare for as long as you have the tattoo.

In the first few weeks, keep the tattoo out of the sun altogether. This may mean keeping your shirt on if the tattoo is on your back, arms, or chest, and wearing long pants if the tattoo is on your legs. If you go swimming or head to the beach, try covering the tattoo with a loose bandage that won’t rub the skin. Remove the bandage as soon as you are in the shade or can cover it up with clothing.

After the tattoo is fully healed, put sunscreen on it. Long-term exposure to the sun can make the dyes and pigments fade, even after you’ve had the tattoo for a few years. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 anytime the tattoo will be in sun.

Tattoo Aftercare Tips
After two weeks getting the tattoo, you should avoid soaking your skin in water, scrubbing it with a towel, or using alcohol-based products on your skin. Remember to never pick at any scabs that form since this can pull the color out.

It is a good idea to follow the advice of your tattoo artist, make sure they know your history with skin care products. If a certain type of lotion causes you to allergy, your artist may be able to recommend another product that can work better with your skin type.

Most important thing to do is to follow your tattoo aftercare. Even if the tattoo seems to be healed and healthy, don’t neglect it. Keeping your tattoo hydrated and out of the sun are the best ways to ensure that it will look good.
