  1. If Japan outlaws tattoos, why did Chorazu and his clients agree to be on camera?

  2. I’ve wanted my whole body tattooed for the longest time but never knew what to get but now I know I’m going to Japan and getting that

  3. Japan is disgusting for their discriminatory practices against people who have tattoos, they shouldn’t have to hide them. This is why I’m proud to be an American, where freedom reigns.

  4. Bruh I can’t imagine going to meet this legend and getting a fake tattoo, the disrespect 😂😂 if you really love tattoos you would have let him give you a real one

  5. How on EARTH do all of these people who decide to get Japanese tattoos sit through HOURS enduring all of that pain especially in areas like the head, face, wrists, neck, chest and sternum? I don't know HOW they do it. It's crazy.

  6. is this a joke? have a non japanese explain the history of tattoos in japan. first off there are bath houses that allow people with tattoo, just costs a little more. also this tattoo artist doesn't seem like a true traditionalist. but who knows. my artist uses a wooden rode, makes his his own black ink, and needles. maybe I'm biased lol
