on the wrist... nice.

i posed pics before but they weren't very good...
I got it back in May, this was less than 24 hrs old

this was 5 mins ago

i like how tats look so bright and bold right after you get them. but then they start to fade with time

Not if you treat them right, from the very beguinning! It also depends on the ink/artist; ie. how deep they go, strength of the ink, vibrance of the ink, etc.

yakuza tattoos are something like that

it's said that the more circles/shadows they have the higher their rank are. yakuza = japanese mafia. here's more

Yeah, I knew what the Yakuza were, and I've seen that style of tats before, I've just never heard them referred to as
Yakuza Tattoos. That's cool, I don't have any though. That's a lot of work man. I've got a japanese piece i'm working on currently, nothing that big though, just the size of my chest.
