Didn't know the infamous Yakuza would be so public.

I was curious and googled "female Yakuza".

And apparently there's only been one female full fledged member. Here's a pretty interesting read about her Nishimura Mako

The title is misleading. I saw the documentary where they show exactly these people, it’s a documentary about the old art of Japanese tattoos.

These people are workers that show their tattoos on a rare celebration, where they are allowed to do so. These tattoos are originally from fire workers and fishermen. Also other professions, I can’t recall exactly how the yakuza adapted these tattoos but they explain it in the documentary.

IMDB documentary of said picture
