  • Eddy Toshi Wertheim, Tattoo Life

    Tattoo magazine feature. Verbatim: "Like many birds of prey, the Eagle is one that often features within Japanese art and tattoos." Establishes both the eagle and the wider 'birds of prey' grouping as attested tattoo subject vocabulary. LIMIT: the page discusses Japanese art, perspective and Hiroshige; it asserts no symbolic meaning for the eagle, and none is drawn from it.

    NOT A WEB SOURCE - read in-repo on 2026-08-28, not fetched. The file names 19 style labels including realism-black-gray, realism-full-color, horror-realism, nightmare-realism and photorealistic as sibling entries. It establishes only that these labels exist in this codebase, not that they name distinct styles. Cited by the split-derived theme, mood and palette nodes created to decompose the fused labels per IMPLEMENTATION_NOTE section 5.

No new fact: this edge restates a value already present in the corpus. STRENGTH 0.75 set by the T11.11c rule: this pairing is asserted by TWO parent rows, one from each endpoint's own association column; the pack's scale reads 0.75 as 'frequent'. Inputs are corpus counts only - no source count, tier or confidence is used.
