They are not Yakuza ,i am a client of the same Tattoo Artist and i have some Great Japanese friends with full Horimono and they are very gentle people with very normal occupations and they have no Yakuza connections whatsoever. Although some Yakuza do have tattoos,many also don't. Assumptions can be very foolish,never comment without facts! I am afraid he has guessed wrong.
