Am I barking mad, or does the art style (esp. the robes and hands) look a great deal like traditional Japanese depictions of demons?

I caught a glimpse of these being done. Yes they are supposed to be daemons and the artist is very much into Japaneese stuff.

One of the depicted tattoos is clearly inspired by Kuniyoshi (1797-1861), a prolific
Japanese woodblock artist. The concerning woodblock print dates c.1840 and depicts
all kinds of (male and female) genitalia shaped figures. It’s a great piece of art!
If interested I can send a picture of that print which is not on our website yet!
