well idk about it having to be "proper" but most ppl who really like the art of irezumi get some sort of suit, im planning on getting my back and 3/4 sleeves done,
and if you're always scared about what other ppl think then no one would get anything done, art or otherwise, im the one that has to look at it and live with it the rest of my life, so it makes no sense in getting something just because of my race, thats sorta racist dontcha think?

Art's art, and this style of art has meaning's that i can relate and strive to, like determination, and tenacity, strength, and courage
and as an artist i get bored of things easily so the only way that i can have a tattoo is if i can relate to it and have a connection with it, so its not just a fashion piece that ill eventually get bored of, it has to mean something to me

ive been a fatass my whole life and was always picked on and never had any respect and the last few years ive been trying to shed that fat and build a body that i can respect and demands respect, and when i have that body that im not disgusted looking at in the mirror is when i'll i get my tattoos as a way of solidifying my new version of me, that isnt a fat wimpy pushover and is happy with life

but thats me and those are my reasons, youd be surprised by the reasons ppl get tattoo's if you take the time to ask and listen
not everyone just wants them as fashion accessories
