>thinking irezumi is what triads have and not yakuza
also ignorant as shit thinking only mobsters wear irezumi

there were tattoo artists before the yakuza was even conceived, and were the same artists that made the woodblock prints of the time during the edo period, using the same or similar tools from woodblock cutting for early tattoo's, because citizens wanted similar tattoos of the hero's portrayed in the woodblock prints of the time as well as firefighters getting tats of dragons for protection and good luck, and criminals recieving very crude simple mark tattoos for their crimes

you're worse than vegans

>apprentice tattoo artist here

it sounds like you need to seriously think about what you want out of your life and who you are as a person before you get an entire goddamn sleeve which was picked by an east indian newspaper forum

pick things that you can identify with, or identify with the meaning of personally, as it will help make it a part of who you are instead of having a "syck piece of art yo" which you'll get bored of and eventually want to get a new one because you're bored with the design and have no connection to, instead of cherishing them because they're a part of who you are and what you want or strive to be.

this is exactly why i love and appreciate the art of irezumi, because there is a long history and meaning to each and every design from the small mundane cherry blossoms and finger waves, to the incredible designs of the dragons, tigers and oni, etc, but thats my taste and its the style i like and appreciate, but believe me i understand what youre going through its hard to decide what you want to have on your body for the rest of your life, and as an artist i get bored of things easy so i think thats why i like something with a deep history and meaning to it like irezumi, because its easier to live with

>if you want to know more here are some of my favorite irezumi documentaries and i suggest anyone in this thread to watch them

jesus feckin christ no dont do it
think about it for a second you want to PERMANENTLY scar your body with the image of a goddamn character from a mediocre moba gaim??
im going to tell you what i was told to do
get something that actually personally MEANS something to you
if you get random fucking shit like what you posted in a yr or so youre gonna want something completely different or will be embarrassed of it because it has no personal meaning to you other than >being cool dood

seriously spend a yr or more thinking about what you've gone through in your life whether it be good or bad and has shaped you into who you are as an individual, as well as the version of you who you aspire to be and get something based of those feelings other than just getting a shitty LOL hero for the sake of getting a shitty LOL hero..

thats why i really can relate and appreciate japanese irezumi is because all of the images in them have MANY deep rooted meanings to them, and many of them are very inspiring like the carp/koi representing masculinity, determination, courage, bravery,and tenacity for swimming up the waterfall for a hundred years because of the oni making the waterfall sadistically high as well as taunting them and mocking them with half of the carp giving up and a small portion of them continuing on to the top of dragonfalls with only 1 to finally reach the top become a golden dragon
