Re: SHOW OFF YOUR INK
[A yakuza sleeve tat! He probably roped several people into doing it (and will regret getting it all done in one go when he's less drunk). There's a stray bird nearly over his sternum, flying as if it's about to land on a branch (it's covered by his wrist in the pic). Another bird or two are already perched amongst the bamboo.
Around the back, on his shoulder blade, are curling tendrils of smoke around one of those flat sake cups (he decided the chemical symbol for ethanol wasn't interesting enough).
IGNORE THE MARKS ON THE ELBOW those are scars. The tattoo's done in blacks and purples for now.]
