Actually, those women are not Yakuza.

They are just wearing traditional Japanese body suits.

I know a thing or two about this...

I can't tell you, since I haven't given birth...

But I can tell you about the pain, since I have 85 hours of work on my body, by two Japanese masters...

It does hurt, especially when you get a lot of work done at once.

Traditionally, the Japanese work no more than about 90 minutes on a client per sitting, because of the pain, and then wait one to two weeks (or more) until the next session and then continue, which can take months and years to complete.

There are people who claim that, once the endorphins set in, they don't feel anything and it started to feel good. Personally, endorphins do kick in after 10 minutes or so... but the pain doesn't leave at all... especially if you get work done for 6 to 7.5 hours in a sitting...

Took me a lot of concentration and once you lose the concentration... the pain can be excruciating, especially when the work is done near the arm pits or on your butt.

I have no idea what rights he has.  He is using an MM photo link.

The images were used just to illustrate a question.. Nothing more.....

I saw only two of those old photographs in that link.

The images on the left, with the two women posing, are part of Japanese tattoo collections, which used to be distributed by Keibunsha, the Japanese tattoo institute of Japan, located in Tokyo in book and CD form.

I am hesitant to attribute the left image to Mr. Rosenbloom, although I don't know his work, but they also have been circulating online in tattoo related groups for close to 20 years. E.g., I saw those kind of images at the end of the 90's already.

I find it possible that the right image could have been taken by somebody else, e.g. Rosenbloom, because it's a very modern, non-traditional Japanese style and looks like a more recent work, while the other ones are, as I have mentioned... a tad older and sourced from Japanese literature.

Hello,

edit to add: OOh! I'm posting under Udor on this, lucky me! Glad you are back!!

Now that you know though... If there is an MM link as suggested, I'd use that and also give credit clearly or better yet, use the MM link to ask directly.

Thanks,
Jen
p.s. I don't see the link but am curious, now. I've only got two pieces of ink, (which were created very/relatively quickly and only a total of about, 80 hours or so. Once piece that took 60+ hours was made with a rack of 40 needles though. There were areas that I definitely felt wore out after the 5 hour session.)
