Tattoo artists in Aichi

Tattoo artists are located west of Nagoya Station, around Taiko-dori and Kogane in Nakamura Ward. Artists specializing in Japanese traditional (wabori), Neo-Japanese (a style depicting wabori themes with modern lines and colors), realistic black and gray (a style expressing shadows with shades of black), Gothic, and blackwork are featured.

Around Owari-Ichinomiya Station, you'll find artists specializing in small one-point tattoos, watercolor style, and blackwork.

In Toyohashi, Higashi-Mikawa, there are artists specializing in black and gray.

When looking for a tattoo, many people probably start by searching for studio names. However, even if artists belong to the same studio, their preferred styles and line work differ. The artist is the one who determines the final result.

On tattooers.jp, each artist's works are compiled on a single page. Unlike Instagram, posts don't get lost in a feed, so you can look back and compare past works. When choosing an artist, we recommend considering the following points:

• How many works in your desired style the artist has done
• Whether the line thickness, intricacy, and coloring style match your preference
• Whether the estimated prices are published

Found work you like? Tap "Get a tattoo like this" on the work or artist page, or tell us your trip and idea through our booking form. Share the placement, the rough size, your dates in Japan and any reference images. We match you with an artist who fits and reply within 48 hours by Instagram DM. Your design doesn't need to be final.

In September 2020, the Supreme Court ruled that tattoo sessions performed by tattoo artists do not constitute a 'medical act' that only doctors are permitted to perform under the Medical Practitioners' Act. However, some local governments prohibit performing irezumi on individuals under 18 years old by ordinance. Booking requests on tattooers.jp are also for individuals aged 18 and over.

For several weeks after the session, the tattooed area will be in a similar state to a wound. Aftercare methods, such as moisturizing and sun protection, may vary depending on the artist, so please follow the instructions of the artist who performed your session. When deciding on the placement of your tattoo, it's also advisable to consider that some facilities, such as hot springs, swimming pools, and gyms, may still refuse entry to individuals with tattoos.
