A crimson fish wrestles a man. A horned demon stares menacingly. These vivid scenes are tattoos, created in pain, incised in the flesh of the Yakuza, Japan's feared secret society of gangsters.

Photographer Sandi Fellman describes this strange and violent world both in her text and in her stunning, large Polaroid photographs.
