Q. I have Chinese art covering my back and arms, and they can easily be mistaken for yakuza tattoos. I've heard that bathhouses normally ban people with tattoos, and that tattoos are frowned upon in Japan. My friend recently introduced me to this half-Japanese girl who grew up in Japan. We've been getting along well, except she doesn't know about my tattoos yet. Do you think it'll throw her off?
A. Call it " iffy "...Tattoos in Japan are seen a being connected with the Yakuza.
I'd say yes, there's a good chance they may throw her off. I'd just take it one day at a time. Don't rush things. Let her know you for the person you are first.
You could be sneaky and somehow get the subject of tattoos into a talk with her. Like if you watch a movie together and some guy has tats in it. Or be bold and expose your arms. You don't want to wait till you fall for her, or she for you, if there's even a chance for that.
Good luck !

Why do yakuza tatoo their back?
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.
