The subject of tattoos in Japan is a bit taboo.\u00a0The history of body modification in Japan is long, going back as far as the Jomon Period (roughly 10,500 B.C. to 300 B.C.).<\/p>\n

But in modern Japan, however, tattooing is immediately associated with criminal organizations, and those with body ink began from society: banned from onsens and pools. The displaying of body art is considered at best low class, at worst criminal.<\/p>\n

But this doesn’t tell the whole story. Tattooing is increasingly becoming a form of self-expression, and the cool barista at the artisanal coffee shop is as likely to be inked as a Nakamura Koen thug.<\/p>\n

If it is your kind of thing, getting an authentic Japanese tattoo is a fantastic way to remember your time here. Japan is well known for its quality tattoos, and Nagoya is especially renowned.<\/p>\n

Below are a few places that are worth checking out, mostly centered around the hip area of Osu. However, bear in mind that it always pays to shop around and make sure the place is up to the standards you require. Also, it makes sense to bring someone who speaks and reads Japanese at a native level. You don’t want to end up like one of these<\/a> guys, do you!<\/p>\n
