In Japanese medieval times, criminals would be branded with a tattoo on their forehead to show society that they are criminals. Criminals later on would form a gang known as the Yakuza. It is like the Italian mafia only it's the Japanese version.
Today, the Yakuza hold a special tradition where they wear tattoos on their whole body, called a Horimono. The tattoos are meant to bring fear and to show others how much pain they could bear. It shows their strength and
perseverance.
These tattoos are not only feared, but they are also praised for their beauty and intricate patterns. It can take up to ten years and tens of thousands of dollars to complete a Horimono.
