Yakuza tattooing is linked to the traditional art of Irezumi tattooing

This temporary Yakuza tattoo will put you in the skin of a terrible bandit. The temporary tattoo itself represents a samurai from the Edo era in the middle of battle. The samurai followed the Bushido code of honor. A moral code based on 7 principles. This is quite paradoxical because although the Yakuza are a mafia, it seems that they are attached to an ethical and moral code.

  • Dimensions: 18.9 x 13.4 in (48 x 34 cm)
  • Hypoallergenic: this Japanese tattoo flash uses a glue of natural origin
  • Japanese style: samurai

Follow the tutorial below to apply the temporary tattoo effectively.

How to apply and remove

1. Preparation

Lay out mild soap, rubbing alcohol, scissors, a soft sponge, cool water, and a clean cloth. Stand by a mirror with steady side light.

Wash, rinse, and dry the area. Swipe once with alcohol to remove oils. Trim or shave if needed, then let the skin cool and dry for one minute.

2. Place

Test alignment before peeling anything. Hold the sheet over the spot, mark two tiny guide dots, and tape the top edge as a hinge for curved zones like shoulder or calf.

Trim close to the design. Peel the protective film only when ready. Turn off nearby fans so dust stays away.

Set the sheet face down and smooth from the hinge. Wet the sponge with cool water, press across the backing for 1 minute, and re-press edges so they bond.

3. Peel

After 45 minutes, lift a corner and peel the applicator in one smooth motion. Fresh color may look blue-green and deepen toward blue-black within 24 hours; tone varies by skin. Keep the area dry for 6 hours and avoid oils, scrubs, and heavy friction. On the first night, wear a soft layer over the tattoo to prevent transfer.

Removal

Let the tattoo fade on its own, or speed it up with gentle exfoliation or our Tattoo Remover. Rinse and moisturize afterward. Do not pick or scratch.

★★★★★ (4.8/5)

Are tattoos still illegal in Japan?

Nationwide, no. In 2020 Japan’s Supreme Court ruled tattooing isn’t a medical act, so artists don’t need a doctor’s license. Social norms remain, some baths, pools, and gyms ask guests to cover tattoos or use private areas.

What is a kaizen tattoo?

It’s a design using the kanji 改善 (“kaizen”), chosen to mark continuous self-improvement. It isn’t a classic Edo-period motif; people pick it today for personal goals and discipline.

How are Yakuza tattoos done?

Traditional artists use tebori: hand-poking pigment with a needle set on a rod for deep color and smooth gradients. Many modern irezumi artists also use machines for linework and large fills, then refine shading by hand.

What if the product doesn't suit me?

If your temporary tattoo has already been applied to your skin, it’s considered used and isn’t eligible for a refund under our policy. Unopened, unused items in their original packaging may be returned within 14 days of delivery. See details here: Refund Policy
