Yakuza (pronounced YAHkuzah)

So today Chris, Albert and I were doing the onsen thing, and I noticed in the showers that there was a guy with elababorate tattoos on his shoulders. I was curious as to whether this was just for show or if he was the real deal. Then, about a half-hour later, we were relaxing on the outdoor bath, when in walks a 40-50-ish man with a big and elaborate tattoo of a tiger on his back. "You don't want to mess with that guy," Chris noted. As we walked back in, I noticed a couple of more guys with full-back tattoos, and a couple more with shoulder tattoos. By the time we left, probably half of the guys there had either full-back, partial-back, or shoulder tattoos. Badass.
