In Japan there is an art form that by any standard its considered extreme where
the paint brush is two thousand needles and the combos is human flesh. Every inch of flesh from your wrist to your ankles.
It’s called Horromono Japanese full body tattoos. These full body master pieces can cost thousands of dollars
and a life time of suffering to complete. I can feel the needle going in and in and in.
But for all that’s endore to get one these tattoos are usually hidden why go through all that pain
and suffering for something few others will ever see. Because showing can identify you as one of the most nurturers
and feared members of Japanese society. They are called Yacuza the gangsters of Japan. They inhabit a world of drug ride,
prostitution extortion and other crimes. In this room Horromono is a mark of belonging
as a result most Japanese view Horromono as a symbol of the mob. A fit of public display.
But one man is on the mission to change that Ishy Rusaki is a ronoun Horomono master.
Known by the artist name Horry Corry Horry Corry uses a time that allows wears to keep their ink under their clothes.
These suits of tattoos are kept in strategic places hands feet and center of the chest.
Samurai make a feared showing in many of these designs Horomono is based on legendary warriors and
heroes whose tails have symbolic meaning for the ware. The images are typically drawns from classic Japanese wood block prints.
But tattoos where not always a matter of personal statics hundreds of years ago authorities gave tattoos to criminals as a form of punishment.
These tattoos allowed the public to identify and ostrasous wares.
By the end of the 17th century outlaws were hiding these tattoos with decorative patterns some believed that
the covering tattoos were the beginning of the nurturous lake between the organized crime.
Corry Horry believes that the best way to change prejudice against Horomoto is to take it on the flesh.
Once a month he organizes a performance at a local bar exposing the public mixed with karaoke and Horomono by putting a spot light at Horomono.
Horry Corry hopes to remove the stigma for so long. It would be very nice to eliminate that prejudice. His efforts might already be working.
More people are turning to Horry Corry to transform their bodies into a living art.
This is my life and my style; I hope people that understand this join me. And I will join them
