  • Imy bro got some of this tattoo and it is really pretty than american tattoo bc the one needle tattoo fade the colo away faster and some artist r really bad at drawing bc this artist r really well train for it

    Im think of geting one when i get to 23

  • i dont care tattoo yakuza or something i just wanna fuck the girl at the end of video

  • I would be honored to be tattooed by this man

    someone please inform me if you know a way i may contact him

  • @TheIGPD

    do you wanna get tattoed in a traditional way???

    takes longer = cost more $

    is that OK for you??

  • @sinkbelow Yeah, I am not worried about that and would travel around the world if I really had to.

  • Someone should have a tattoo of a shirt so they don't have to ware one

  • People will have this tatoo are NOT normal organization in Japan, like Yakuza.

  • @kikyou88 Japanese traditional tattoo is not for yakuza.

    Japanese fire fighters were getting full-sleve tattoo long time ago.

    again it is not the symbol of Yakuza

    but it is true that most ppl think like tattoo = Yakuza.

    thats my problem coz i can even go to swimming pool in Japan.

    I would get kicked out...

  • @sinkbelow I mean CAN'T

  • @sinkbelow

    True. Actually I WANT to have part of this cuz this is sooo beautiful, but... you know?

    Oh my... I just hate yakuza...

  • @kikyou88

    nobody likes Yakuza

  • หรอย วะ

  • This is so disgusting that i cant even look

  • I heard it hurts a lot. Also cause liver problems.

  • @Haywood2 that doesn't cause liver problems no more.

    nowadays they(artists) know how to wash and keep the needles clean.

    so don't worry and get full sleve tattoo today :)

  • deep

  • Do these people realize that they have invented something called a tattoo gun which would make getting the tat easier and quicker. Someone should tell them.

  • suddenly 03:16 the voice becomes very sexy

  • @varial4life Ohhhh haha ok i didnt see entire vid. yeah thats pretty gay

  • @varial4life What i dont get it it was like "they are gangsters" what are you talking about kareoke

  • oh wooo nice tattoos and subtitle

  • @varial4life lmfao

  • Tattoos can be beautiful forms of art and hold a great amount of meaning! I have them, all in places that can not be seen wearing day to day clothing. Most people wouldn't know for years if I didn't wear a swimsuit. Yes, every few years they need re-touching, but its a very personal choice to get one. It's no longer taboo to have them, so why barrate people who choose to do so? I'm the biggest girly girl you'll ever meet and anti crime. To all don't be so quick to judge others.

  • What the hell If I had tattoos that badass I wouldn't own a shirt! I wouldn't give a fuck if someone knew I was a criminal!

  • @jdmordie95 You gotta be READY for that lifetime committment of having any type of tatto that people can easily see. I know a adult woman (28 yrs old) that has barb wire looking tattos on here face, they come out of each side of her mouth where the lips meet each other and go 4 inches across her face to her ears. < She thinks that shit looks cool...! I personally think she made a judgemental error on style, but that's really none of my damn business. She has to live with it, not me, Whatever.

  • that last part, when he gave a speech - it was inspirational.

  • lol why dont they get fake tattoos or something

  • 0.21 is the best

  • cooool

  • i saw this being done at japans booth at musink this year it was pretty cool..there was always a crowd watching

  • omg

  • @varial4life I have one myself, and after fighting Megatron I find a good karaoke session is just the ticket ;-)

    PS the "crime" is DONE by many of these people, not stopped by them. hahaha.

  • wait, wait wait, am i the only one who see's a pot leaf on the arm of the chick at the end, or am i just crazy?!

  • @D35t0y3r Looks like it, but thats actually a Japanese maple leaf.... looks identical right? Freaked me out when I first came to live in Japan and my neighbor had a garden full of them... DOPE PLANTS I thought but unfortunately no... hahaha. PS Possession of one joint in Japan is a 2 year prison sentence.... and during that 2 years you may not speak any other language except Japanese - which is hard if you dont speak any to start with, so weed smokers beware.

  • do they tatoo their private part??

  • @TheHashim2302 i ask that too i wonder if they do...

  • Comment removed

  • that is incredible that those tattoos so good since they are all done by hand.

  • @ThaSurreelist95 Just one? I want my whole body!

  • Im almost done with my full body Hello Kitty tattoo. Im so gangsta! (jk)

  • beautiful tattoos

  • whats the point of getting a tatoo there going to smear in 15 years and look like shit

  • @ChIcAnO2111 What's the point of posting a stupid comment that no one really cares to hear?

  • @jacacriss well u must really care about my comment since u responded to it =)

  • omg why was bataman voice in this vid o.o tht was scary

  • Men I want to make a tattoo like this, how can I find this tattoos artist?!!!

  • @FlautaManJazz yellow pages

  • Gotta love all these Tattoo haters coming here and watching the video , while at the same time putting nasty comments about tattoos .

  • amagine what that women would look like at age 70.

  • @adderguy6

    When you're 70 you don't care anymore about that stuff. Your old and ugly when you're old

  • mom can i get one?

  • Comment removed

  • absolutely incredible, no other way to say it

  • see u can learn from gamers i learned bou yakuza from ta they were in game thumb up if u think games can teach u

  • i always dreamed of one of these. don't know how could i ever get that much money though(with the trip there, the stay, food and the tatoo)...T_T

  • @hipp6y

    These tattoos take if your are strong and arive more than once a week take 3-4 years, if weaker or dont go in as often it can take 10 years.

    The tattoo artist uses a traditional needle that is bassically 12 razor sharp non electric needles tied together.

  • @pkslayde i know that. did you seriously think i'd consider something like that just for the hell of it?? i'm not 13 years old, mommy.

  • @hipp6y

    then u miss understood what i ment, i was simply informing you of how long you need to stay in japn for to get the tattoo. And how much money you would actually need to get the tattoo.

  • @pkslayde oh! i'm sorry. there are so many busy bodies on you tube that i sometimes jump to conclusions. i was pondering visiting every few of moths for some weeks, maybe doing a session everyday(if sensei would agree, of course). but all the same, i'd have to work outside my country for YEARS to save up that big amount of money. while having 2 kids. i don't think i'd be able to pull this off...

  • @hipp6y  :{

  • 01:19 he has the hand of a woman :)

  • dope! my auntie's wife has this kind of tattoo! in real life its amazing...AMAZING!

  • 1:55 That's Mr Burns from the Simpsons

  • sick art..!!

  • not to be racism but these thing ain't work 4 black

  • This is sick dick join fuck u sick crazy

  • insane tattoo method

  • i wonder how they make the tattoos look so bright and no mistakes at all!! they look so perfect!! and all they use is a needle and go up and down!!!!! haha and these guys epic fail!! they said something very few will ever see and millions have already seen it on nat geo xDD

  • japanese are weird but interesting

  • @swanton200

    you gaijins are more weird

  • @thetruthisundeniable IDGI why would she???

  • i vona bi yakuza!

  • @zamavisions you cant go around saying tattooed people are criminals and have self esteem issues (different tattoos mean different things)

    My fiancee has 3 tattoos 1 of my name 1 of a dolphin and 1 of dog paw prints so they are all girly and she would never commit a crime far from it as she is a high school teacher and if she did she would be out of a job and you need a high self esteem to teach

    I myself have commited several crimes yet dont have a tattoo so what does that mean???

  • @xMrBumBleBeex means your a criminal without tattoos? :)

  • @mrmulenutz lol the worst kind of criminal

  • Wow sack that way of being tattooed I'll stick to the electric needle lol

  • Pause at 3:23 Haha.. she have a marijuana on her arm!

  • Comment removed

  • I want 1

  • As a matter of fact zamavisions spelt 'digesting' instead of disgusting, so there's one for a start.

    Besides that, I'm sure it would do the world a favour if he went and fucked himself, because tattoos kick ass :).

  • And I don't think that zamavisions "taking his ass and fucking himself" would do the world a "favor."

  • Although zamavisions was a bit naive, he/she had a point. And he/she didn't make a single spelling or grammer mistake wheras hannah made several spelling mistakes innappropriate and incorrect use of language and consistant errors in grammer, so you have nothing bad to say about zamavisions that can't be said for yourself.

  • @idwtsasoj  Tattoos are digesting? Like.. As in Digesting food? I think he meant something else so I count that as a spelling mistake.

  • @ChanVideos He might be using predictive text

  • @idwtsasoj I can use whatever language I please and yes that fucktard DID make spelling mistakes, and yes I do have bad things that can be said about him/her/it and not me and its that I dont go around saying dumb shit like "If you have a tattoo, you're a criminal, you're filth, and you have low self esteem!" And no they don't have a point and neither do you..

  • @zamavisons you're a twat

  • Hannah, I might have been too far in tagging tattooed folks as criminals and with self esteem, but the way you are reacting isn't making a good case for you. Your choice of words and language said it all.

  • @zamavisions Well what you said was ignorant and you were labeling people on what they chose to do to their bodies and how they express themselves. I my self have no tattoos but would like to get a few. Does that make me a bad person? Stop being judgmental and grow up... The world has changed.

  • @zamavisions No the way I reacted it what your bitch ass deserved. Yeah I fucking cuss get over it, but I agree it said it all about you and how you are and what you need to learn.. I have a good case and its that if you dont like tattoos dont fcking waste your time watching them and putting fucking stupid comments that you dont even know how to spell half the goddamn words Im pretty sure you'd react the same way if you had a tattoo and someone said "oh you have a tattoo, you're a criminal"

  • Tattoos are digesting and the wearers are filth and with low self esteem. It was a sign of criminal mind and behaviour in 17th century and nothing has changed since then...

  • @zamavisions you are a fag!!!

  • @zamavisions Hey you fucking lil bitch I have 12 tattoos and I dont have fucking low self esteem and I am not filth ok! Infact I probably have higher self esteem than you.. Oh and yes some criminals have tattoos but that doesnt make us ALL criminals shit face.. Go back to grade school and learn how to spell then take your stupid ass and go fuck yourself.. Do the world a favor..

  • @Hannah92210 Tell that little fucker what's up man.

  • I would love to have this done.

  • People say ye tattoos are great now but what about when ur old, ERM when ur old ur old ur fukin ugly rinkly and stinking anyway, who cares

  • @paulcollumbine when people ask me why i have so many tattoos i say dude i only got one life to live

  • @Jock4Jesus Or you can say its your biography that has significant meaning

  • @paulcollumbine When your old if you get your tattoo re inked it doesn't look that bad

  • @paulcollumbine but then again full body tattoos are insane and stupid

  • reminds me of the zebra man, excellent artwork

  • suffering? where

  • 0:22 looks like brian blessed off unbeatable bansuki :')

  • Them tats gonna look nice wen ur old... LOL

  • omfg the worst japan ganksters all get together to sing kareoke ? :D XD

  • @EdvinasYah Yessir, they do... But I wouldnt laugh about it anywhere near them....

  • imo tattoos on girls are horrible unless they're small and tasteful.

    in fact if you've got a minute, what the hell is wrong with nice human skin that everyone has to cover it up with ink?

    these days, if you want to be different, DONT get a tattoo!

  • these tatoo's are not masterpiece, only low mentality trash persons have tatoo's

  • @TheMarcel400 don't be so prejudiced and assumptive, especially considering how hypocritical being so is after calling others "low mentality".

  • @TheMarcel400 Shut up. It is art. On the body.

    And nice spelling ass hole.

  • @TheMarcel400

    IDIOT !!!!!

  • im saving up to get one of these, cant wait :D

  • Beautiful work.

  • yakuza

  • was that batman doing the voice over at the end?

  • @MiniFensome I thought that too. aha.

  • its the sort of thing you'd get after a hard night out of drinking...then wake up in the morning and regret it afterwards lol

  • Awesome work.

  • eww..

  • oh my god watching that hurts..

  • Comment removed

  • @waterloobestmaxine So why r u watchin the fuckin video??

  • tattoos are for ugly people

  • @DaFistxProductions why the fuck are you watching this video if you want to hate on people who get tattoos.

  • @TheMikeRobbo cuz i watch nat geo :)

  • @DaFistxProductions hmm then ur mum had one

  • Ufffffff super!!! I like!!

  • Hello....look at the QUALITY of these tattoos......they rock :)

  • The guy who did his translation at the end made this guy sound like a totally BAMF.

  • w8 a minute michael scoffield?

  • when u get 1 u want more. u go to a salon to fix your old tatoo- you leave with a new one instead :)))

  • 2:38 buttcrack!

  • Horikoi can't TOUCH Horitoshi II

  • I know the pain, I got my whole arm tatted it took about 50hrs don't tell me that shit don't hurt u know u ain't tough

  • @hondalover301 .......50 hours?.....your sleeve must be elaborate/intricate?.....and I agree....tattoos are not painless.......or inexpensive

  • [Commercial] she obviously needs a smart button, lets hope it doesnt connect her to her dogs LOL

  • Imagine spending about half hour just for these freaking tatoos!

    

  • 普通、後ろに入れ墨の男立たせてカラオケ歌うかね?こういう演出­で「日本人は異質だ」と思わせるんだな、糞メリケンは。うんざり­だぜレイシストども

  • A lifetime of suffering? Being tattooed is not suffering, in my opinion.

  • I absolutely LOVE tattoos and I absolutely LOVE God and I'm pretty sure God will think my tattoos are cool ;]

  • Tattoos define who we, the tattooed people of society, are. If anyone ever tries to remove your tattoo: RESIST! Once I impregnated a lesbian who was proficient in the art of tattoo-removal and within 2 weeks I felt compelled to flee for my life. The last I heard she had renounced lesbianism and returned in triumph to the loving bosom of her adopted family with $70 from my wallet.

  • wow as always a bunch of shitty comments that have nothing to do with this

    Anyways the tats look nice although i would jut do my arm or back :)

  • Id rather peirce my eyes.

  • @MissTrixie33

    really ? loool

    just get a horimono instead

  • God cursed both the tatood and the tatooist .

    4|119|And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle's ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a loser and his loss is manifest

  • @Emran1966 Curiosity, not trolling, is there anything before or after that specific to body modification or tattooing? There is the same thing in Bible, but it's in a passage by a very conservative guy who was the 'plaything' of Satan and not actually a prophet so most people disregard it. If the idea to be tattooed is taboo across other cultures there is bound to be a reason why. Thanks.

  • @beakerthebio1123 ( 3 )

    "I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes Satan for a friend, hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.

    Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false desires; but Satan's promises are nothing but deception.

    :They (his dupes) will have their dwelling in Hell, and from it they will find no way of escape.

  • @Emran1966 stfu you fucking terrorist

  • @beakerthebio1123 (1) these r verse 115-121 from chap 4 in the Holy Quran read in order 1 to 3 :

    If anyone contends with the Messenger even after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, and follows a path other than that becoming to men of Faith, We shall leave him in the path he has chosen, and land him in Hell, what an evil refuge!

  • @beakerthebio1123 (2) :

    Allah forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, hath strayed far, far away (from the Right).

    (The Pagans), leaving Him, call but upon female deities: they call but upon Satan the persistent rebel!

    Allah did curse him, but he said: "I will take of thy servants a portion marked off;

  • CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MUCH IT COST i WANTED TO PUT A MAP ON TO COVER MY WHOLE BODY

  • i love the video game yakuza!

  • anyone else besides me stopped at 3:04?

    tattoo gun???

  • believe it or not the color cant be replicated with the gun. my uncle has one and the color is fuckin amazing

  • owwiieeee

  • even on his balls? rofl

  • @hayitsscott AHHHH!

  • People who get a tattoo are denied to enter the most public spaces in Japan.

    For example, pools, hot spas, or any other place where we would had to take off clothes.

    Most Japanese are conservative.

    And we discriminate minority people obliquely.

    If you have any small or large tattoos on your skin and if you come to Japan for sight seeing, you will be possibly denied to enter the public space.

  • @YonoUrawa cough cough bs

  • @lancecorporalmoto

    Thank you for your comment. It's not lie at least my place.

    I've been living in Saitama pref just north of Tokyo.

    When you come to Japan again, please see cautions carefully.

    「刺青(入れ墨)をされている方の入浴を禁止します。」

    It means "Do not enter this hot spring with any tattoos."

    「刺青(入れ墨)をされている方は、ラッシュガードを着用してく­ださい。」

    It means "Please put on a rash guard to hide your tattoos."

    刺青(i re zu mi) = 入れ墨(i re zu mi) = タトゥー(tattoo)
