Tattoos

I think I might have a tattoo fetish. 😮
Any genre is fine, but the tattoo has to be a fairly significant part of the story. And I am talking about real tattoos, not magical seals or other marks that may appear on a character's body.
Examples:
Hydra
Mademoiselle Butterfly
Shisei (YOKOBABA Ryo)
Thanks! 😉

Mayonaka no Jewel Story 2. It's a smutty one shot but it's the only thing I can think of that best fits what you're looking for.
The Poet Who Buys Words. This one's a bit of a stretch. There is a tattoo but it's not so central to the story.
That's the best I can do. All the other ones I can think of are the magical type.
edit: ah..you didn't want magic seals..
how about:
Tenshi no Tattoo

Tattoos play a pretty major role in Romance At Our School (yaoi). Also has one of the main characters as an actual tattoo artist, part of a family of traditional tattoo artists.

Thanks, everyone! I haven't read most of those.
Because I think my original request was too narrow, I'd like to expand my search to mangas where the tattoo is not necessarily important to the plot, so long as a major character has one. Also, it can be any tattoo-like mark.

Double Snake, a yaoi one-shot.
And Revy from Black Lagoon has a partial sleeve.

If you're okay with yaoi that's a tad kinky, the two-part story "Birds of Wings Abreast" at the end of Urakatana Kaminoki (about a tattoo artist and his client) is one of my absolute favorites. It might be hard to find though, it was scanlated a loooooong time ago.

This one might work... though it's not about tattoos. It has body art that's a relatively prominent theme in the story. It's called Flower. It has images of them getting painted; so, just maybe it'll work... though there is no pain... so it might not... I don't know. I just hope it will help a bit.
