They welcomed us to the Rokk clothing family and we welcomed them to our crew.Nikki Interviews Dan from Atreyu and His Brother Joe excellent interview and good answers it is worth a look.

Ironically, many yakuza and other criminals themselves avoid tattoos for this very reason

READ DESCRIPTION—————–Okay this is just a random Bleach tribute I made because I needed to work on something else other then my current AMVs.I suppose I was sort of testing out fx, and seeing how well I could make alot of effects put together lookI didn’t want to mess up the video with so many effects, so I just used what I thought was good enoughWhile making this, because it was so short, I didn’t notice when I edited the whole thing, it was so short and some of the scenes go by fast lolAlso I cut the actual song to make it much shorter, including only the lyrics I waned to use..Btw, basically all the scenes, in my opinion, match the lyrics pretty well (look below for lyrics in english)- Comment and Rate PLZ, I would like some feedback on this video Please don’t mind the quality, youtube screwed it up big time, I’ll get a downloadable version soon ^^~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Japanese Lyrics:ken wo nigiranakerya omae no koto womamoru koto wa dekinaiaa oretachi wa mina me wo aketa mamasora wo tobu yume wo miteirundawowowowaruburu tsumori mo seigi demo naiore ni mo wakaranai chikararikutsu jyanai sa omae wo mamoritai dakekarada ga unaru TATTOOS ON THE SKY—-English Lyrics:Unless I hold my sword, I cannotProtect youah, we all keep our eyes open To see the dream of soaring the skywowowoI don’t plan on being evil or goodIt’s a power I don’t even knowIt’s not logic, I just want to protect youMy body roars TATTOOS ON THE SKY═════════════════════════THIS VIDEO IS PURELY FAN-MADE AND IS IN NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MUSICAL ARTIST OR ANIME COMPANY INANY WAY.═════════════════════════

For 400 years, Japan has been home to a secret criminal organization dedicated to its own supremacy in the underworld. Ruled by an ancient, arcane code of honor, the deadly Yakuza have been among the most feared members of society. Even today, they are immediately recognizable by the stunningly ornate tattoos that cover their bodies, telling the terrifying story of their stature and career in a dark order that knows no mercy. Now the Yakuza are coming to Los Angeles. But in America, they’re going to meet their match. Two cops are on their trail. One’s an American raised in Japan. He’s got the mind and spirit of a samurai, and the body of a human fighting machine. The other’s a Japanese-American raised in California’s San Fernando Valley. He’s into malls, pizza and MTV. But he can disarm five gunmen with his bare feet. One’s a warrior. One’s a wise-ass. But together they’ve got what it takes to remove some tattoos from Little Tokyo. “Showdown in Little Tokyo” stars action favorite Dolph Lundgren as Chris Kenner, a man fighting for his adopted heritage and his family’s honor; and Brandon Lee, in his first American film role, as Johnny Murata, a guy whose idea of a good time includes knowing where–and how–to get his kicks. Opposites in attitude, once they get on the streets, they’re a perfect odd couple. And what they have in common is their enemy–the Yakuza who are bringing a lethal new drug trade to Los Angeles, coupled with a macabre taste for violence and cruelty.

Instead of being used for ritual or status purposes, tattooed marks began to be placed on criminals as a punishment this was mirrored in ancient Rome, where slaves were known to have been tattooed with mottos such as I am a slave who has run away from his master

This in itself can be a daunting task though it has been made easier by advent of the Internet because such artists are often surprisingly secretive, and introductions are frequently made by word of mouth only
