A History of Japanese Body Suit Tattooing The history of Japanese body suit tattooing requires a knowledge of the social and political forces at work from prehistoric times to the present. This book traces the development of those forces, their role in the growth of the military government and its efforts to control a people often less than willing to be controlled. The yakuza, their forebears and their attitudes to life, crime and tattooing are explored in great depth. The technical aspects of tattooing are similarly detailed and Horikazu, a modern practitioner is profiled.
