A crimson fish wrestles with a man. A horned demon stares menacingly. These vivid scenes are tattoos, made with pain, incised into the flesh of the Yakuza, Japan's feared secret society of gangsters. They are the visions of the Irezumi, the legendary tattoo artists, who created living masterpieces for years. Photographer Sandi Fellman describes this strange and violent world both in her text and in her beautiful, large Polaroid photographs.
