its because tattoo is trendy atm, i know of guys in their 40s rocking tribal arm band and random tribal pieces and they told me they got it to be gangster back in their youth, tribal armband is anything but gangster nowadays.
some people might think otherwise but to break it down simply tattoos are just a fashion statement. it might carry its meanings but in the end you decide to have a certain piece of ink on your body because you like the way it looks.
Some people might dress gangster as a fashion statement but it does not mean that they are actually one.
Having Japanese style tattoo doesn't mean they are a gang member, nor does having a tribal tattoo means they are from an actual tribe.
King George the fifth is the guy that brought the japanese style to the west, he has a huge dragon on his arm and he did it probably because he saw the style on a yakuza member in japan, like the style and wants it on himself. Does not make him a gangster.
