PROFILE
Tattoo artist : Masayuki
Tattoo Work : About 7years
Age :
28
From : Osaka
I first began tattoo in Okinawa.
At this time I basically made tattoos for American soldiers or the Marine
I mostly made american tattoo that Americans like
I always lived in Japan but because of this experience I think I can understand
other countries tattoo style.I had a lot of different orders from
a lot of different people so I came to like variation in tattoo's style.
I did it for 4 years in Okinawa and I then I moved to Gunma prefecture.
There I did other part time jobs while tattoing.
Then I decided to stop tattooing and to have another life experience,
so I went on a trip to Shikoku and did various outdoor jobs like farming.
I decided to go back to Osaka because I wanted to start help people like people helped me while I was in Shikoku.
Then I felt like working in the place where I was born so I moved back to Osaka.
My way of doing tattoo is inspired by the animism spirit of Japan.
