Which is a general tattoo style on its own right just because it historically has ties to the Yakuza doesn't mean that anyone that has one is in the Yakuza
It is important to note that while traditional Japanese tattoos are highly respected for their artistry, they were historically associated with criminality and were banned in Japan during the Meiji era (1868-1912) due to Western influence and modernization efforts. Despite this, the tradition has been preserved by underground tattoo artists
even for most of the last century that didn't change much. Is everyone with tattoos a yakuza? No, but it's also not well-liked over the majority of Japan and still seen as something everyday people shouldn't do. I'm talking about normal tattoos not even full body ones. You cant even use most publicly available onsen or sauna with tattoos showing.

It's a good thing she's no longer in Japan then ;) but all jokes aside there is some interesting points there
