"HONOR'S KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. HASN'T SAVED A SINGLE ONE" Since getting the tattoo I must have had twenty conversations a day about 'honour' with Japanese and Chinese people. This morning I spoke to two guys from Japan who told me about a famous Japanese gangster who had the exact same tattoo on the same arm. He died sometime in the eighties in a shoot out. I also have several post-it notes with variations on the character written down for me and have been taught how to pronounce it. I have been given several email addresses too - icluding one from a very excitable Korean girl who kind of yawned at the tattoo but then went apeshit when she saw I was wearing a Mashi Maro badge: This led to a very jumbled conversation about Resident Evil, Final Fantasy and Chow Yun Fat. Excellent! Mike is blogging to: The Beach Boys
