Yak tattoos tend to be very traditional images...dragons, cherry blossums, thunder and lightning demons, etc. No kanji. You have short-sleeve and long-sleeve styles, and usually blanket any area of the upper-body covered by clothing.
Many Yaks get thier tattoos in the "traditional syle" with needles dipped in ink and tapped in by hand. This takes a long time, partially because of the feverish response of the human body.
