I love tattoos. Here's a couple of mine - back when they were still "fresh" from a couple of years ago.

TRfromMT TRfromMT would love that.
 
Actually, funny story. I once went to an onsen in the middle of the Japanese countryside and the place was full of yakuza. Their boss was drunk off his face singing aloud in the sauna and the atmosphere was… interesting. His entire back was covered by a tattoo of a demon eating a man. Monochrome though. It wasn’t color.

That is actually really cool. IMO - he earned that tattoo ( don’t need to know how he earned it though ).
 
I don’t know. Yakuza are not all the same. The ones in Osaka were legit like you’d think. I once went to this Yakuza night club that was five stories and had a wading pool whose bottom had two huge images of koi in it and a bunch of ladies of questionable morals splashing around (at 4am or whenever this was). That place was crazy like that Michael Douglas movie Black Rain. Those guys were not for show. Very big. All in black. Sunglasses at night. Seemed like they should have guns.

The guys in the middle of the country didn’t seem like they were wound as tightly. The boss looked like a skinny kappa (bald Japanese turtle-like creature) with a weirdly pronounced potbelly. Everything else about him but his belly was skinny. And he was very pale. That said one of his security guys was one of the biggest humans I’ve ever seen. When I walked in (only white guy for miles and miles) we both met eyes and sort of went “what the hell are you?” But my reaction was at how unbelievably huge this man was. Only bigger person I’ve personally seen was a maori amateur rugby player from New Zealand named Paora. His tats looked like he was wearing armor. I wish I had a photo of him to show you. He was like a 6’ 8” embodiment of not to be f-ed with. Just pure muscle. Couldn’t drink for shit, though. Got all sentimental.

This is probably in my top 5 worst tattoos, and also my #1 favorite. That shitty sewing needle stick & poke was done by me, not sober, during one of the craziest times of my life. All we did was race bikes, crash bikes, build bikes. Those days are long gone.. but the memories are alive and well, especially when I look at that horrible tattoo on my knee 😂.

BTB - Black Track Bikes - was a messenger crew in downtown Los Angeles ( has a few more meanings I won’t mention ).

FTW - Forever two wheels ( borrowed from a MC , has a few more meanings I won’t mention )

The upside down heart looks like a _n__ sac. Whoops again. No regrets on that one. Souvenir from the messenger days.
