So here's the July video - oops. But thanks for the patience as I was dealing with a hand injury - 3 stitches and an overdue video later hope you guys enjoy.
Is painful yes?
Understandable, have a nice day.
Freidheim of Prussia what happen to your hand?
Do one on the Cyprus war in 1955 and in 1974
Can you try and do the Costa Rican 1948 Revolution , a “kinda” forgotten revolution
We have an update: the Japanese Supreme Court has decided for tattoo artists not to have a medical license as a requirement. In other words, tattooing is legal!
With a needle, you have to have a med license. With the tebori style, you don't have to have a med license.
Yes, although culturally you may still be refused entry to certain places on the soul fact of having tattoos, Japanese or foreigner. It's just the way of things

интересный комментарий . Я врач , соответственно имею возможность заниматься медициной и лечением , значит это очень в плюс если бы я делал тату ?)
I love how people think of the games before the actual organization
I Mean;
THE GAMES ARE CALLED YAKUZA; BECAUSE IT FOCUSES ON THE YAKUZA!!
@@New3DSLuigi364 I know that. But my point is the games have become so popular that a lot of people's default assumption when someone says "yakuza" is the games, rather than the actual organisation, which I find kinda funny.
@@GeraltofRivia22 yeah its funny i think sega and rgg when localising the name should either just translate it or keep it (the original name was ryu ga gotoku translates into like a dragon)
@@punishedfiddle9309 Yeah but now there's a Yakuza game called Like A Dragon so it'd be strange if they changed it to Like a Dragon: Like a Dragon
I only ask one question about the yakuza, why is a guy singing attracting so many people?
Real Human Bean DAME YO
Its from a game called yakuza 0

When a loan shark asks you to beat someone up in a random empty lot, killing him.
Only it wasn't you who actually killed him.
another man of culture i see
This reminds me of that one time I had to fight the most dangerous hitman in Southeast Asia in order to take revenge on the shooting of the blind girl I fell in love with
What?
When you almost die, and a cute office lady takes you in and lets you be a stay-at-home husband, but you can't let go of your Yakuza ways so you end up menacing the neighborhood oba-chans at book clubs.
Many such cases.
@@charliemcmillan4230 The most expensive hit man in all of Asia, too bad all it took was a slugger and a bat to knock him out of the park.
3:05 "and even erotica"
does knowing that painting even when blurred make me cultured or a degenerate?
Yes
Yes
Au contraire. You are a cultured person who does not let the masses limit your palette, a true patron of the arts.
Someone is gonna ask for the sause
It makes you culturally perverted, a pervert of the arts! I salute you, good man!

Japanese looks cool when it isn't written in spaghetti
Seeing the Hannya in the video placed my mind onto Majima and clouded everything else
It should also be pointed out that the Ainu, an ethnic group that existed before the more-Asian Yamato people that now mainly live in north Hokkaido, have a strong tattoo tradition. Especially among women, who traditionally tattoo their lips and forearms.
feels weird that i started playin yakuza this month and this video comes out lol
I was watching a video about the game today
Same! I'm on the last chapter of Yakuza 0 and I'm loving it!
Same lol
Me too. Must be the bakamitai videos.
@@dlang6487 I already reached Part 5
Ask a simple question,get a brief summary of late Japenese history. A welcome result.
I mean in Western Australia apparently, most of the tattoo parlours are owned by legally grey Bikie Gangs. A strange coincidence of paralleled history.
Not really, tattoos being associated with criminals and other social outcasts is historically common across the world.
@@bottomtext probably only in places where tattoos aren't otherwise significant culturally or religiously
I'm from Australia and yeah it's not the same lol. Japanese tattoos have been criminalized and socially stigmatized for centuries, our bikie gangs have only owned these parlours within only the last 50 years at most, probably during the 70's onwards. Tattoos are found everywhere from Africa, the Americas, the Middle East and Europe. The closest thing I can think of that parallels Yakuza tattoo history is the British history of tattoos, British sailors had unique tattoos and because many of them were press-ganged into the Navy and had a reputation as drunks and rum fiends that would start brawls at taverns and ports, many people started to ostracize those with tattoos.
That’s not what I envisioned when you said “penal tattoos”
Did you envision the tatto equivalent of falling asleep at a party and getting sharpie art all over your face?
Oh, you probably meant *that.* Fair enough.
It took me to 3:27 when I realized his accent was saying "penal" rather than "pen!le"
Dragon of Dojima
Just finished Yakuza 0 before watching this video! Phenomenal game! Great work!
Thanks mr history for keeping us entertained during lock down. Much love from Melbourne
They're also used to show them on the final fight against your opponent on the top of a very, very high building.
It's always a good day when Feature History uploads
Fabulous art styles as always
Nice video and beautiful accent, loved it!
0:36 KIRYUUU CHAAAAN
May i ask this but where are people getting the your pic from like napoleon and marechal ney and that where are they getting it from
Woah, That was exactly what i was thinking last time i was in the shower.
He’s back!!
Was just talking about how you cant visit an Onsen with tattoos with my dad then i look at my phone and this vid is out bruh
2:59 Yooooooooo
I knew someone was going to say that lol
Shamefur dispray
The kimono on the left of your thumbnail is worn wrong. It is always worn with the left side over the right. The only exception is for the dead where it’s right over left.
The Dragon of Dojima
Simo and Feature, great collab
I heard that some Yakuza members will have the middle filled with the name of the Yakuza branch that they belong too i think? Can't remember where I heard it from but can't seem to find anything to back that up
I actually did think about this in the shower last Thursday.
I would be keen to see more crime related history. Love ya vids
Kazumi is the only Yakuza that matters.
You mean Kazuma?
Yakuza memes, Yakuza memes everywhere...
Very interesting
I never saw this video coming, interesting....
Can we get an episode on Jamaica's political gang battles in the 70s and 80s? The cowboys, er I mean "political activists", and gun battles of wild wild west Kingston were something else.
Not only Japanese Yakuza have tattoos but a lot of East Asian mafias or criminal organizations have back tattoos. In Korea having tattoos are considered taboo, they would censor them if lets say an artist has shoulder tattoo and have a live televised show would have to be covered up. Not to mention when Korean Kingdom fell Japanese gangs that had smuggled things in and out left a mark which brought tattoos in to Korean criminal society. I believe scars tell more of story than tattoos. If I didn't have my scars I would consider of getting tattoos but I'm not ashamed of my teenage years or the exploits that happened which lead me to get shot five times and stabbed. What embarrassed me the most or feel guilt is when I got arrested once and my mother had to pick me up from the police station. I never felt guilty before especially if had to do with something that someone deserved but seeing her face, that disappointed face was the first time made me reevaluate my life. Oh a lot of the tattoos are symbolic, it tells the story of the Yakuza member and usually explains what kind of person they are.
The pronunciation makes me wince a bit, but I really like the video.
That’s rad.

Hmmm strange I was looking about this on wikipedia just yesterday 👁👄👁
Awesome.
3/10 no bakamitai in the intro

Quite neat
I’ve found an interesting war and that’s the Angolan civil war. Could be a interesting idea.
It's interesting and alsoI feels so strange that the Japanese style tattoos are such a taboo at Japan and at the same time such a trend at West 😏
can you do Eritrean Ethiopian, the 30 years war, and 1998 to 2000 war, please?
Can you do you some brands history
Will you do a video about the Russian tattoos in the future?
And they're one of the main reasons why tattoos are hated in Japan (although it was the same story in the West until recently).
Do the Chaco war a really interesting war in my opinion
The Outsider is an underrated movie.
When are we going to see the Second Boer War????
Do the Russian prison tattoos, please.
i wish know the meaning for each tattos lines for criminals and what they meaning
Great video, it would be awesome if you covered multiple criminal organizations and the meanings of tattoos on their organizations and the taboos about them
Plz , do Balkan Wars !!!!!
make a video on Al Capone.
Could you please do the biafran war?
In other words, japanese style tatoos are more popular in the west than in japan itself
Joe Rogan told interesting story where he was working out Inside a hotel, Inside their private gym. They came to tell him he must cover up in order to remain.
What podcast ?
@@patrickpower2215 it's somewhere in this clip from one of his old shows. Was a while ago so don't know if beginning, middle, or end. Also think there's other little things related to customs & yakuza.

please do the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 please
is it okay to have a back tattoos like the Yakuza? thanks for answering 😁
Japan is an island in East Asia
According to one source, a samurai could kill a peasant if the samurai felt disrespected by the peasant with absolutely no repercussions; supposedly a large percentage of Japanese, over 90% descend from the samurai in one form or the oth
DOJIMA NO RYU
Ainu also used Tattoos.
You can never trust those who cant pinky promise
make a video on the history of Japanese anime and how it has influenced the world.
I keep hearing "Tatooine" instead of "tattooing"...
Shows his rings tat I’m from the ryukoos pal
Dame da ne, dame yo, dame na no yo
Yes, it is unusual to see Japanese people with tattoos, unless near a military base
Is it just me or is the audio quality kinda funny
There is a mistake at 4:30
It's written "PROHIBITNG TATTOOS", while it should be "PROHIBITING TATTOOS".
Taddoos!
DAME DA NE
your videos is not on nebula :(((
*bang*
To be fair I misheard you say "Penal Tattoos" and was expecting something else
The worst was branding on the chest with letters.
Jiro time
I will like japanese tatto to continue the way it is. If they become legal it would loose their beuty and the outlaw feeling.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
can you do Russian mafia tattoo
3:00 yoooooooooooooo
Also, many U.S. military personnel, especially Marines, have tattoos. Since many see the American military presence in Japan as an occupying force, that might be another reason why people with tatoos are banned from many bath houses and gyms in Japan.

Funny how the ban on Yakuza made crime in Japan 100 times worse.

To be honest, never seen or knew about them having tattoos.
Casey Niestat didn't have nice tats
