This Tattoo Protects You, But Why Does It Destroy You?

In this video, we break down real Japanese culture & history behind [Baku]. We also compare it with Korea and China, so you can see the East Asian context. This is an informative, history-based episode – not just anime or Pinterest vibes. I want to show you so much more, and I believe content that YOU participate in will be the most powSerful. I know many of you might wonder, 'How can I fix my ruined tattoo?' or 'Is my tattoo actually a real Japanese style?' If you're curious, send your photos to: [email protected] Please include: 1. Your name, 2. The artist, 3. How long you've had it. I will pick a few and cover them in my next videos. I’m always open to your comments on what content you want to see next.
