Today’s many yakuza tattoo factions are patriarchal in nature but women are integral parts of Japan’s gangland society. Wives, mistresses and girlfriends of top yakuza tattoo figures often undergo extensive tattooing. These women sometimes use yakuza tattoo to demonstrate their affiliations with the gang lifestyle. In some cases it’s done to show loyalty and obedience to the Yakuza member they are involved with.
In modern Japan, it is now widely thought that if you have a tattoo you are in the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia. A lot of establishments, especially hot springs and bathhouses, will not let you enter their establishment if you have any form of tattoo.
The Yakuza are believed to be one of the largest organized crime factions in the world and have been around longer than the mafia and their history can be traced back to the year 1612.
