i'm sure you're very busy so no worries if this doesn't get an answer, but do you have any headcanons or ideas for a tattoo our dearest Nishida could have?

I adore his character so much... Stressed straightman, YET surprisingly competent. I like to think there's a little more to him than that, considering that he works for Majima of all people... The lack of attention on him leaves so much room for the imagination!

I’m also a big fan of Nishida! I think that Nishida must be much stronger than we are ever directly shown, otherwise he would have not have risen to lieutenant with a patriarch like Majima. I think he’s just surrounded by absolute monsters and is very aware of where he stands in comparison to all of these unkillable forces like Majima and Kiryu.

For Nishida I wanted something that reflects his link to Majima, since Nishida is Majima’s right-hand man. I went with the Inugami, a dog spirit that I think may have had some influence on Majima’s backstory as The Mad Dog. Inugami are yokai that are created by sorcerers to act as servants. They are created by tying up a dog just out of reach of food, or burying it up to its neck, then starving it near to death. When the dog has been driven mad by hunger, its head is severed and buried under a crossroads where the constant noise will further enrage the spirit of the dog. Despite the cruelty of this process, inugami are exceedingly loyal to their masters, and can be handed down as an heirloom, faithfully serving its family for generations. However, it is possible for a master to be so abusive that the inugami turns on them, killing the sorcerer who controls them. There are some similarities between Majima's treatment by Shimano, and Majima's subsequent treatment of his own men, Nishida included. However, while Majima eventually snaps and turns on Shimano, Nishida shows no signs of being pushed to a breaking point. Majima may be harsh, even cruel, to his men, but he has no desire to break them the way Shimano does. Nishida even shows genuine concern for Majima's well-being in RGGO's side stories for him, as well as promising Saejima that he will look after Majima in 5.

Dogs in general represent loyalty, but may also be associated with criminals. Nishida is a low-level yakuza compared to the legends the story usually focuses on, but he's competent and loyal to the Majima family and its patriarch.  

I also think that the image of the inugami could be stylized like a namakubi tattoo, a traditional image in Japanese tattoos of a bloody severed head. This head is often that of a samurai, representing the beheading of a samurai after they have committed seppuku. This represents the samurai ideals of honor. Nishida’s loyalty to the Majima family is absolute, despite his anxious, fearful personality. His side stories in RGGO show that he takes his oath very seriously, and is dedicated to pursuing strength by studying the legends of the Tojo.

For a flower I chose the blue aster, or ezogiku, because in Japanese flower language they mean "I trust you, but I am worried" which I thought was funny and fits the loyal but anxiety-ridden Nishida to a T.
