A origem da Tatuagem na Yakuza As tatuagens orientais são muito populares no nosso mundinho ocidental, mas, afinal, qual é a sua origem? Ao pensar em grandes desenhos e fechamentos de desenhos orientais, imediatamente associamos à Yakuza, temida máfia japonesa. Para se ostentar uma tatuagem, é preciso suportar a exposição à dor. Logo, o processo de “fechar o corpo” com tinta leva anos para se completar. A prática do fechamento de grandes pedaços de pele remonta a um dos grupos que, acredita-se, deu origem à própria Yakuza: o Bakuto. Jogadores itinerantes no período do Japão feudal (por volta do século XVIII), os Bakuto eram foras da lei que viajavam pelos feudos ganhando dinheiro com jogos de azar tradicionais, como hanafuda (jogo japonês de cartas) e dados. Os apostadores fechavam os braços e peito com tatuagens elaboradas que escondiam os códigos reveladores de seus crimes e número de condenações. Cada fechamento deve ser visualmente balanceado, e as imagens sempre devem aparecer em pares. Para conhecer mais:

Alexia Sinclair - The Regal Twelve Christina was born into Swedish royalty. Her father's only heir, she was raised as a Prince, educated as a boy and adored traditionally male sports. Christina even took the oath as a king, not a queen. Growing up, she was nicknamed "Girl King" and, at the age of six, upon her father's death, Christina became the Queen of Sweden. Queen Christina launched a "Court of Learning" through her patronage of art, theatre, and music. However, her reign was controversial, often described as participating in multiple affairs with both men and women. Most mysteriously, some years later, Christina abdicated the throne. Christina of Sweden - "The Androgynous Queen" places Christina in a forest.

Singing a Sad Song with Photographs Editors Note: As a fun experiment, we asked Bryan what the best song would be to listen to while you look at the images. He suggested this one: Bryan Schutmaat’s newly-released photographic series, Grays the Mountain Sends, is quite stellar. The images depict desolate regions and isolated communities of the western United States with a deft touch and a sympathetic eye. VICE: How long has this new project been in the making? How long would you say you were on the road, actually shooting? Were you based in Brooklyn back then? Yeah, that would make things much easier than living on the East Coast. As a photographer, do you feel drawn to the road? You seem to be in the Alec Soth vein of road bound photographers, where you not only observe your surroundings and photograph landscapes, but you meet people and learn about them as well. And they were receptive? I wanted to talk about the poet, Richard Hugo. It makes me happy that they’re still there, and that the bar is still there.
