My 2nd fave, after "Tattoo Burst".

This is the only Japanese tattoo magazine I know which is
printed Western style - so you don't have to "read" from the
back to the front. Unusual...

The stuff you'd expect is there in every issue:
Articles about Japanese as well as Western artists, conven-
tion and event reports, features on underground culture in
Japan (Hip Hop, Rock'n'Roll, etc.), plus the tattoo parlour di-
rectory...

As a bonus, you usually get:
A report on a tattooed martial artist, and sometimes even
full-page flash!

What I love about this publication is the fact that their pics
are reproduced in larger format than any of the other Japa-
nese mags, so you don't have to pull out your magnifying
glass!

P.S.: Japanese language only.

Contents excerpt of latest issue (December 2003):
