Also, I have heard some pretty scary/funny stories from tattooer friends who have visited Yokohama about getting drugged and mugged by Yakuza, hahaha. I take it that doesn't happen so much if you speak the language?

Thanks for making a newcomer here feel so welcome.
What I'm really interested in is the irony that most of the world sees J-tattoos as works of art but here they are still looked down upon.
I've been getting tattooed off-and-on since I was in my mid-teens but in the summer I decided to book in with Tomo at YB for some larger work.
It's been a wait but the first session is coming close - which is one reason I've been reading this forum on tips on surviving longer sessions.

Welcome! Nice intro. What made you decide to move to Japan?

Yokoso!! Can we see some of the tattoos you have or hear about some of your tattoo experiences in/around Yokohama? I am super jealous, Japan is definitely a pilgrimage I need to make within my lifetime.

You are definitely surrounded by great art, congratulations. I hope you can work from any of them sometime. Welcome.

Hey @tattooedj , welcome ! Do you have any tattoos ?

Good evening,
I'm a Brit who's been living in Japan for 10+ years. At the moment, I'm in Yokohama - home of Horiyoshi III's tattoo museum, Yellow Blaze and the Victorian-era district where a lot of the J-tattooers relocated after the government banned ink (again) during the 19th century.
It's great to be surrounded by all of this J-tattoo history - and it's hard not to love tattoos after living here for a while.
I've been reading LST for the past few weeks. It's a great place you've got going here and I finally registered today.
Yoroshiku!
