Only 5 hours so far, probably another 2 and he'll be finished. Probably the same for Bastet! I reckon my sleeve will be a lot longer!

This is a pretty damn cool tattoo.

Pretty cool indeed, one of the best I've seen.

Is that one of those tattoos that only Yakuza members are allowed to get?

Probably not, usually AFAIK Yakuza body tattoos get cut off on the upper part of your arm and below your collar bone (so it's not visible if you're wearing a suit with rolled up sleeves or something)



Pretty damn cool tradition if you ask me

I was watching a documentary on Yakuza tattoos and most of them were full body tattoos like these. I guess everyone has different preferences?


This is a slide show i found of the photo you posted, they seem to have full back tattoos as well.

OMFG ^ That's way too extreme.

They are well-made, they don't look particularly extreme. As mentioned it's made so it can be covered up if need be.

Compared to the fullbody crap most western people get this looks beautiful. In fact the quality of the tattoo is so high and colours so vivid I probably wouldn't even mind getting one like it myself. And I'm really not a big sucker for tattoos.

quality is quality.

^Agreed. That last pic Ganja posted looks awesome. Though I would want a smaller tattoo and not on the back.

True... but then again full body tattoos are way to extreme. Seriously.. It looks like a mess!

mess:

not a mess:


compare art quality, theme and functioning.

- A is pretty high quality for a tattoo, but when you compare it to B it makes you cry.
- A started off as an anatomy tattoo and quickly derailed into weird spiderweb shit, toxic logo and texts. B is a clean typical japanese piece.
- A 100% fullbody farked for life tattoo. B is mostly fullbody(plenty large anyway), but nobody will ever have see it.

Basically B is actually a very well balanced tattoo, with a lot of cultural value behind it.
Whereas A is a strange art statement that will get you frowns for life.

You have made a mess when you might as well paint yourself black.



Also, just try and get a job with that first tattoo Poe posted.

damn beautiful.

Well, I agree. ^ That one looks way better than "farked for life tattoo"

He would have to go like this

^Lol that's nice. He should also remove the metal from his face then. But that "makeup" takes quite a long time to do and it would be quite tedious to do it every day for work lol.

So, he made tattooed himself like that, and now he wears a makeup to hide it, so no one can see it. Why doing it in the first place? *genius*

Tattoo today, in a few hours

He probably doesn't because it's just a commercial. Well, I guess he has found a job then.

I'm guessing that is used for film, theatre etc to cover up tattoos...
But what's up with the pout?

It's a commercial for Dermablend Professional. I'm sure he loves walking around naked.

It's like bodypaint. When there's enough of it you don't even notice they have no clothes on. Probably doesn't work with males but yeah.

I don't mind the tattooes on the upperbody. I meant those on his face. I'm sure he doesn't wear ski masks.

He doesn't cover them up, people hire him to be on freaky videos and photo shoots because of the way he looks. He was in some video of Lady Gagas but I'm too lazy to find out which one it is.

He should wear a hockey mask instead. Angerfist style.

^ He shouldn't've done it in the first place!

^Eh. I'm not to judge him, it may look hideous, but it's his decision. Such tattoos aren't as bad as snake tongues, horns, huge rings in the ear and a pile of metal on ones face.

I agree with all that. I'd love to get myself a tattoo one day, but I would never ever tattoo my face.

^How about an eye tattoo?
