The Yakuza’s tattoos are meaningful to the specific person and what they want to show to the world.įor example, samurai Yakuza tattoos are popular because they show that the individual is a warrior who does not let fear consume them and whose decisions are noble. They cover their tattoos with their clothes because only one percent of Japanese citizens have tattoos and they are still highly stigmatized in their culture. Today, they dress like regular Japanese businessmen and have expanded into the financial world in addition to their affiliations. Metaphorically, this referred to how they were dealt a bad hand in life with being part of the lowest part of society. The name Yakuza came from the name of a bad hand in an old card game these groups of criminals and lower caste members would play.
