Nope... Up close, and personal.

I think so, too, Jeremy. But, believe it or not, this isn't the most elaborate that I've seen since being here. It's funny, most of the time, the Yakuza seem to try to hide their tattoos (even going as far as wearing long sleeves in summer) but, after a couple of beers (and having a camera in the right place, at the right time), he seemed pretty happy to show his off.

Thank you, John.

Thank you, Samuel. Trying to learn more about this wonderful art. You have some pretty amazing shots, yourself.

Thank you, Viswaakshan. Your photos are quite beautiful, too. Keep shooting and post more!

Thank you Angad. I guess I have to learn to position myself better to compensate for the crop sensor. I would love to see more of your work, too.
