Japanese TattooJapanese tattoos had a long history and unique cultural meaning.
From the origin, there were relevant records as early as 2,000 years ago. At first, men's tattoos might have been to imitate the son of Shaokang, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, to cut off their hair and tattoos to avoid the harm of dragons, or to use the "technique of avoiding victory" to ward off evil spirits and pray. Later, it gradually evolved into a kind of decoration, and distinguished their status by the position and size of the tattoo. They would also tattoo their family emblem on their bodies to express their bloodline and status.
At different times, tattoos had different situations in Japan. During the Edo period, tattoos became a punishment, known as "ink", and were mostly used for exiles or people who had committed crimes. At that time, public bathing facilities began to discriminate against tattooed people. However, after the economic crisis, the people at the bottom favored tattoos as a form of "body art."
In the development of Japanese tattoo culture, literary works also had an impact. For example, after Water Margins was translated into Japanese and published, Ukagawa Kuniyoshi re-created the tattoos of the characters in it with the Ukiyo-e style, which promoted the development of tattoo culture.
In modern times, Japanese tattoo culture presented a complicated situation. On the one hand, tattoos were a manifestation of personality in the West, but in Japan, most of the people with obvious tattoos were members of underworld groups, which made people often associate tattoos with crime. Many public places and job applicants clearly stated that they would not accept people with tattoos. However, there were still groups who loved tattoo art. Tattoo masters like the third generation of Mutaka Yuki had fully inherited the essence of traditional Japanese tattoo art. Most of his works were traditional patterns, and he insisted on inheriting ancient techniques by hand tattoos. He also proposed the art concept of " defense, breaking, and separation." In addition, the first generation of carved lotus was also a well-known traditional tattoo artist. Although there was a taboo against tattoos in society, the Tattoo Enthusiast Association would hold regular gatherings to display tattoos.

Nice story and fresh concept.. But please dont take seriously to what I want to say.. Its interesting but why name his name Vergil if he in Japan, and if in reality, he will be mock as Gaijin and never will been accepted in Yakuza.. Yakuza is proud members of Shinto and Japanese so hes in Yakuza its been unrealistic to me.. If he in Gang or Mafia it will be more realistic because he doesnt have any Japanese Root to make him swore as Yakuza member... Please dont take this seriously.. I just wonder tthats all.. And for your info, any child in orphanage service in Japan, will not name their child in care with outside Japanese norm name, it purpose not to make any child been alienate because their name by community cause Japanese people is proud as Hell in regard their cultures and traditions..
