The World’s Most Dangerous Tattoos You’ll Never See in Japan!
Where is this "self-expression" going that we never see in Japan?
The most common form of self-expression is tattooing, the act of carving illustrations or text on one’s body. In the West, where tattoo culture is far more widespread than in Japan, a number of uniquely evolved works are attracting attention. For example, in the photo below, a hand grows out from the neck, and the cockpit on the chest is used to control the body. Other tattoos include a young man with glasses carved around his eyes (8th photo) and a fierce man with a pattern of the luxury brand Louis Vuitton on his head (7th photo). …… Mr. Keroppi Maeda, a journalist who is familiar with the tattoo situation overseas, says, “It’s okay to get a tattoo like this.
Some people may wonder if it’s okay to get a tattoo like this. But in Europe and America, where tattoos are accepted as part of pop culture, there are those who seek “humor” to entertain others, and there are those who are so dedicated to their own “aesthetic sense” that they overturn the image of tattoos, and create “works of art” that no one has ever done before. There are also those who have a unique sense of aesthetics that overturns the image of tattooing.
At a tattoo store, a detailed consultation is conducted before the procedure, the design is drafted on the body, and the tattoo is carved under thorough hygiene control. In Japan, professional industry associations have established professional standards.
There is no such thing as failure in tattooing. There is no such thing as failure in tattooing, and I want people to know that they can enjoy tattoos as freely as they do in Europe and the United States.
Enjoy the precious world of tattoos that you will never see in Japan!
