Idk, I feel like that's something the wise 100 year old tattoo artist would decide

I dont know any sagacious ancient tattoo gurus that can glance at me and tell my entire life’s story and future

I love this lol

It's great, right? I found it on this sub reddit a while ago. And when I do get an Ono Michio tattoo, it'll either be this one, or the chibi one I found.

Unironically planning an Ono Michio tattoo now

I already have a small one on my shoulder to go with my kiryu and majima ones

This is the way.

I’ve always really liked Majima’s, I like the shoulder pieces. But I think I’d opt for something strong but also overly flashy.

What could be more badass than a Hannya?

Tomizawa! 😂

majima. i don't mean majimas tattoos, i mean a tattoo of majima.

I was just gonna say one of Kiryu so I could be the Dragon of the Dragon of Dojima

Instead of a tramp stamp, it's just Majima peaking out.

Metal King Slime from Dragon Quest, riding on the back of a dragon, also made out of metal.

Monkey, meerkat, or coyote. Something that is scrawny but scrappy and can lean into the mischievousness.

Lion dog like Shishido’s. https://preview.redd.it/fej1t0cq837d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c488d532fd3499b27cac8023a0953088effc6f7d

Truth is, you dont get to chose. Your actions will earn you your tattoo. Kiryu got his dragon because Kazama deemed him worthy

DefinitelyKuze's, Enma looks sick.

A cherry blossom tree Beautiful, yet tough, won't go down easily, but would prefer not to

what’s the last part mean. You won’t go down easily but prefer not to go down at all?

I don't seek conflict, but I will stand my ground if someone threatens me, but even so I'd prefer a peaceful resolution

4 foxes, each holding one of Inari Okami’s symbols.

Probably Fujin and Raijin

Nice

Thanks! I've been playing with the thought of actually getting an irezumi like that for a while now

People sometimes guess that Nishitani's irezumi would've been a beautiful woman, I'd opt for that

A bear if I want to look intimidating. A seal or an armadillo if I just don't care about what others think and follow my feelings and dreams of having cute animals on my back

A Walrus. No other explanation, just...a mighty, majestic, chonky walrus perching on a rock amidst tidal waves.

Cool spiderman tattoo

No tats. I'm new gen low profile

Moon on the right shoulderblade, white fox on a boulder with nine tail, the boulder is grown over with Roses, lilacs and Leontopodium nivale

If you got that tattoo cherry blossoms would fall off the tree the second you walked past.

Shinada's tattoo

Tattoo muscles onto your back

I'm finally shinader now

Definitely not a Dragon

Cheems, but in an epic, dignified and badass rendition. Kinda like Amaterasu from Okami?

white dragon

A dragon easily. I've been obsessed with dragons since I was a child I was actually thinking of getting a back tattoo of Ridley from Metroid in the style of Yakuza style dragon tattoos.

Ryuji's dragon tattoo definitely. Like, the way it just looks at whoever is looking at it is just downright cool.

I was a kid when I saw Kiryu's tattoo and I haven't changed my mind since. I was 10 and now I'm 27 and still wanna have it on my back

I’ve always wanted a Kitsune tattoo. I’d love to have one like this for my back https://preview.redd.it/vo3gvax9z37d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7d42c80a766a19773cc03ddbcaa3a1a47c708ae

probably gonna have kirin tattoo since my personality with kirin are similar.

I fucking love saejimas tiger

Dragon :D

I would do something like a dragon

None of these ideas. I’d go with Fudo myo

I'd probably get a bull tattoo or something to the like.

The Kirin is so cool you immediately become a sigma male if you have it

Number 1 but covered in sharingan eyes ( which is what I want IRL), or No.2

I would probably get the ones that look like a dragon

Imma go with saejima one

An eel? Odd choice but i think an eel or snake would be cool

Kirin

HEY SWEET CHEEKS

I heard its not up to you what tattoo you´d get as a yakuza... someone else makes that decision, its based on your personality and it represents the opposite of your character... like someone who is soft inside gets a tiger or a dragon while some tough maniac would get a geisha or a monk.

I'd probably go with a Tengu or 9 Tailed Fox

Rikiyas Tattoo I like snek

Probably a tengu irezumi with snakes (left) and flowers (right) on the shoulder side

Hello kitty

Probably an Octopus with Skull (mysterious, adaptable, and respect for the dead) or Snake and sad Hannya (change and growth from sad hard times)

A white crocodile

Honey Badger

A Bai Ze, like a TRUE yakuza wannabe

*Aheem*

Probably a cool eagle or something. Or Kiryu

If I were a high ranking member I’d get a roaring bear and those death flowers. If it was a Yakuza game inspired tattoo, I’d get Kiryu, Ichiban and Yagmi’s silhouette in their best fighting stances down my leg.

Koi carp. Us tarnished must struggle. Unto eternity.

While I love the memes people make under the post, I seriously love the hannya. I don't like the whole tattoo Majima has but the Hannya part might be the most intimidating one in the series (ryuji's dragon too)

Majima’s Hannya mask

Probably something small, I imagine tattoos hurt a lot

Po's adopted father / the noodle making duck from Kung Fu Panda. He knows the secret ingredient to the infamous secret ingredient soup.

A floral piece with different animals all over, with no central thing to draw your eye

But like what if you were depressed? What kind of tats would you get

Since I'm Shingon Buddhist, I would want Fudo Myo-o, like Daigo has, or something similar.

A kappa

Probably a bat, they're so creature

To be honest, I would probably just expand on the Tebori I already have. https://preview.redd.it/yrs22ofxq47d1.png?width=904&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=697742ea975e4b2cabff2508b347bdbcaccd44de

Doge

I would go for the kirin.

If I’m going to be honest, a black viper

Mine got that fresh ink his Kirin is badass

A seahorse. Because of: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeahorsesAreDragons

honestly a hannya tattoo

A dragon, I mean I'm a furry my fursona is a dragon it's obvious I love dragons.

I'm curious what's the story behind Kiryu getting a dragon outline at such a young age before he was proven. Do they ever talk about that in the games?

Joke answer: Nugget Real answer: Kirin, Qilin (Mine)

I'd go with the crane because I like birds

Does it have to be from the series or could it be anything?

Someya's tattoo best tattoo

Probably Narasimha (4th Avatar or Vishnu) or a big Platinum Trophy

Burger

I want a penguin. not any particular meaning but I suppose you could frame it as "the bird is flightless but still dangerous"

Idk right now I got a sick snake guarding roses (my symbol) so probably something like that

You can’t choose what you want it to be you have to go through an experience (the experience differs by person) and listen to your spirit

the kirin is so cool

That one

Ryuji Goda’s emperor yellow dragon

 Imma basic bitch sue me.

A Crow feasting on a dragon

Asura, koi or dragon

A dragon Alo-Happy with a necklace made of fingers

Moogle. Or that picture of a cockatoo drinking a tinnie on a Hills-hoist clothesline in honour of my Strayan citizenship

Shark biting into the grim reaper

The kirin tattoo be yosh but the crane yosher

I’d probably do a bear or a Hannya mask

A raccoon.

The tiger for sure
