Giorgio Fragiacomo’s Tattoo Images
When my friend Giorgio Fragiacomo visited me in Japan, in 2022, he took some outstanding photos at a Yakuza tattooist studio.

In Giorgio’s own words: “The sporadic flashes of the colours red and green on the human body come to life in the darkened room. The image has a forbidding quality that guides the viewer’s eyes directly to the flesh of the man, accentuating the man’s vulnerability in his nakedness as well as the man’s strength. A strength that becomes apparent only when it dawns on us that he must have endured considerable pain to achieve the desired effect. It should be noted that to the Yakuza full-body tattoos are not unlike a uniform, a way of acknowledging one’s colleague.”
