He’s tough looking, a hard case, observes his cellmate Cal—the mute tattoo artist of the prison, a wife murderer. SYN, a gang symbol, is tattooed on his hand, and he has a Japanese emblem inscribed on his left shoulder. He asks Cal for a tattoo on his back, in kanji script, of Musashi’s Book of the Void.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile he is being worked on, he tells Cal his life story, a tale of hardship and abuse. Motherless, he was raised by a distant father, a Vietnam War veteran, in the impoverished hinterlands. In his teen years he hung out with the native Hawaiian gangs and was drawn into the Hawaiian-Korean underworld of strip bars and massage parlors. His ambition and proud samurai spirit seem, inevitably, to lead to his downfall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soho Press","offers":[{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":53196111839552,"sku":"jzw1790030757146","price":7.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8535\/4304\/files\/tattoo-the_1.jpg?v=1790030760","url":"https:\/\/mountainpeaks.shop\/products\/tattoo-the","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
