After discussing the location, size, and design of the tattoo, we’ll provide you with a price estimate. Price estimates are free, so please feel free to contact us for a consultation.

While visiting us in person is the most reliable way to receive an accurate estimate, please feel free to contact us using whichever method is most convenient for you, depending on where you live and your circumstances.
What do I need to make a reservation?
A valid photo ID (such as a driver's license or passport) is required if you decide to proceed with your tattoo. A booking deposit of ¥11,000–¥22,000 is also required to confirm your reservation.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept cash and credit cards (contactless payments only).
At what age can I get a tattoo?
Our studio provides tattoo services only to clients aged 20 and over. If you have exceptional circumstances, please feel free to contact us to discuss your situation.

How do you decide on a design?
Please visit our studio on your appointment date (the date you selected when making your reservation), and we’ll create the design together while discussing your ideas and preferences.
Is there anything I need to bring on the day of my appointment?
A. If you have any materials that illustrate your vision or ideas, please feel free to bring them.
If you don’t have any, it’s perfectly fine to just come as you are.
Also, please wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
Is there anything I should avoid doing before my tattoo session?
A. Excessive sun exposure or a hangover can affect the tattooing process, so please try to avoid strenuous activities the day before.
Please make sure you’re in good health and in top condition when you come in.
What should I do for aftercare?
No special aftercare is required for tattoos done at our studio. After your session, simply keep your tattoo clean. We recommend soaking in the bathtub, and there is no need to apply medicated creams, bandages, or any other special aftercare products.

What is a freehand tattoo?
A. In tattooing, this refers to a technique in which the design is drawn directly onto the client’s skin.
Unlike the currently mainstream technique using stencils (transfer sheets)—which transfers a prepared design onto the skin—freehand tattooing takes the skin’s contours into account as the artist draws, resulting in a beautiful finish that fits the body more naturally.
What is a tattoo convention?
A. It refers to a tattoo event or competition where tattoo artists from various regions gather to perform live tattoo sessions, hold tattoo contests, and sell artwork and apparel.
In the contests, tattoo designs and craftsmanship are judged, and awards are presented in each category.
Will having a tattoo prevent me from getting insurance?
Our staff members have been able to obtain various types of insurance despite having tattoos. However, this is only one example, so we recommend consulting your insurance provider directly.
Can I undergo an MRI scan with tattoos?
Members of our studio staff have been able to undergo MRI and CT scans without any issues while having tattoos, but please note that individual experiences may vary.
We recommend that you consult the medical facility where you will be undergoing the scan.
