By TOMOYA · Osaka

LUGANO TATTOO ROYALE 2026 luganotattooroyale From September 11th to 13th, 2026, I had the honor of participating in LUGANO TATTOO ROYALE! Looking around the venue, it was filled with top-class tattoo artists active in various countries around the world! It was truly an overwhelming three days! Honestly, I felt like I was floating for all three days. It was like, 'Am I really here?' Even now, it feels like a dream that I was able to set up my own booth and tattoo at the same venue as these world-class artists. Amidst all that, being able to challenge for BEST OF DAY! That alone was a truly significant experience for me! And above all, to komachitattoo, who endured an 8-hour long session. Thank you so much!! The result was not good at all. But surprisingly, I don't feel any regret! On the contrary, I've never experienced such a satisfying 'loss' before! I believe I was able to stick to my current style, and pour all my current skills, experience, and everything I have into this one piece, giving it my all! The design I want to do now, The techniques I can perform now, And all of who I am now, This is a piece where I gave my all! That's why I am extremely satisfied with this work! However— I can't end it like this! This time, being among the world's top-class artists, I strongly felt it once again! I definitely want to win an award on this stage! As long as I can keep challenging, I will continue to challenge for BEST OF DAY and BEST OF SHOW, again and again! Someday, I will definitely achieve results on this stage! And to all the seniors who shared so many valuable stories with me this time, thank you, thank you so much! horiken_shibuya horihiro_tebori horishin_tokyo nissaco horibenny hide_ichibay nami3t mutsuo3t To the organizer, mikivialetto, and everyone involved in the operation, thank you so much!
