The male urethra travels from the [[Bladder|bladder]] through the [[Prostate|prostate]] and length of the [[Penis|penis]]. It is relatively close to the surface all the way from the tip of the penis to between the [[Scrotum|scrotum]] and the [[Anus|anus]]. If a [[Sound|sound]] is inserted into the [[Urethra|urethra]] and pressure is exerted, it is easy to see the skin tent up along that portion of the urethra.  The major difference after that is in how the reroute is done.  Many, including those who are DIY types, pierce through the urethra, creating a small hole to pee through.  Others of us who have avoided the DIY mode, preferring instead to have some who knows their anatomy and what they are doing, cut and stitch.  Even though it is a relatively simple procedure, the success level for those who have tried DIY, piercing a hole through and hoping it would work, is poor.  Those who have gone through the surgical procedure, which can be done as an out-patient in about an hour, have had more success.

It should be noted that due to the shortened urethra, men will be far more prone to bladder infections. This is doubly true because of the new proximity to the anus (cleanliness is essential). In addition, complications from the procedure including [[Urethral stricture|urethral stricture]] are not uncommon. Finally, contrary to popular belief, having a urethral reroute does not bypass the [[Urethral sphincter|urethral sphincter]], it just shortens the urethra. If proper hygiene is used, there should not be any types of complications.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) was an Ukiyo-e print designer of the Utagawa School in the late Edo Period.

Born the son of a dyer in the Edo working class district of Nihonbashi, he became an apprentice to Utagawa Toyokuni after demonstrating his prodigious artistic talent to the master at the age of twelve. In his first print series as a professional artist, 'Popular 108 Heroes of the Suikoden, Told One by One' (1826), Kuniyoshi's interpretation of the tattoos worn by some of the Suikoden heroes was extreme, with men tattooed from their back, arms and legs in one all-covering design. As impressionable young men in Edo copied the tattoos in Kuniyoshi's prints the whole-body tattoo 'suit' now synonymous with Japanese tattooing was born.

Some academics and tattoo artists today claim that Kuniyoshi himself was tattooed with a dragon design, although this remains uncorroborated.
