Q. Call me a fool ,but I think those tatoos can be troublesome if they are caught. To find who is the boss of the organization the police must only check their back.
Yes I understand that, but doesn't make this easier for cops to catch them ?
I understand, you have best answer my friend. Thanks.

A. While tattooing among the Yakuza was prevalent amongst the men, it is now more common to see the wives, mistresses, and daughters of the affiliated to become tattooed. The women undergo the tattooing procedures to show their loyalty. And whatever stigma may be attached to the Yakuza and their tattoos, one cannot deny the beauty of the art. It's usual within yakuza circuits to tattoo themselves, usually is it their clan's badges that they have all over their body. The origin of the yakuza tattoo comes from the Bakuto. They usually tattooed a black ring around the arm for each crime they committed. Finally it became a symbol of strength. It can take over 100 hours to do an entire back tattoo. The tattoo was to illustrate you were unwilling to accommodate yourself to societies rules and norms. Now is it to illustrate your clan affiliations.

Good question, heres what I found, The more the police push, the more the yakuza are simply going underground, making their activities harder to follow than they ever were before. Gangs cooperated with police, handing over suspects in return for police turning a blind eye to yakuza misdemeanors, but this broke down after organized crime laws were toughened in 1992. It's a very feared Gang and most of the members wear clothing from head to toe.

Do any of you know the name of the Japanese art for tattooing?
Q. I used to go to this lady in Denver (but now live in Calgary) who did cosmetic liner for me. I'd like to find someone here in Calgary but do not know the name of the technique (nor is she listed in the Denver directory).
A. Horimono

Horimono (彫り物, 彫物) is the term used for traditional Japanese tattoos.
From the Japanese horu 'to carve, engrave or inscribe' and mono, 'thing'.
Executed with tebori, the Japanese tattoo artist uses traditional motifs such as peony flowers, dragons or unique ukiyo-e style human figures to create a tattoo that renders the whole body as a single, symbolic work. Horimono tattoos are also unmistakable by their gaku, literally 'frame', of waves, water or wind swirls surrounding the centre of the tattoo, which gives the horimono its 'suit' appearance.
Horimono are also known variously in literature or speech as irezumi, bunshin, shisei, gaman or hokuro. Although many Westerners and Japanese use irezumi to refer to traditional Japanese tattoos, this is technically incorrect since irezumi is a cruder term based on method. As the term horimono references the art form involved in creating such a tattoo, Japanese tattoo artists and those tattooed generally use the word horimono.
Due in part to the origins of tattoo culture in Japan, its association with geishin (penal tattooing), bakuto groups as well as present day criminal cultures, most notably the Yakuza, tattoos are still a strong social taboo in Japanese culture. Sadly part of this tradition of taboo is also due to discriminatory practices against the Ainu whose women wore large facial tattoos and the Hinin and Burakumin who were given tattoos to brand their caste. Wearers of tattoos may be refused service at onsen (bath houses), hotels, sex clubs and even bars. Part of this practice stems from wanting to avoid trouble with gangs and violent youth, but much more of the prohibition rests on perceived social opinions of difference in Japan and not wanting to make other guests uncomfortable. So even if you are gaijin (foreign) and tattooed you may still be denied entrance despite the obvious lack of Yakuza connection.
