Why travelers choose us
A Tokyo tattoo studio built around the visitor experience
Getting a tattoo abroad should feel exciting, not confusing. We help you choose the right size, placement, style, and appointment timing for your Tokyo itinerary. If you only have a few days in Japan, the process is simple: send references, reserve your slot, confirm the design direction, and arrive at the studio with your passport.
Our location in Ueno works especially well for visitors staying near Asakusa, Akihabara, Ginza, Shinjuku, Shibuya, or Tokyo Station. The exact studio address is shared after booking confirmation.

How to book from overseas
Plan the tattoo before your flight lands
If your Tokyo dates are fixed, book early. Include your preferred style, size, body placement, available dates, and reference images. For custom Japanese work, more detail helps us match you with the right artist.
Share the idea
Tell us the style, size, placement, budget range, and dates you are in Tokyo.

Reserve the appointment online and secure the time that fits your travel plan.
Arrive prepared
Bring your passport, eat beforehand, avoid alcohol, and wear access-friendly clothing.
Travel-safe aftercare
Protect the tattoo while you enjoy Tokyo
Avoid water plans
Skip swimming pools, beaches, saunas, and hot springs while your tattoo is fresh.
Plan around your itinerary
Schedule the tattoo after heavy walking days if possible, especially for legs, feet, ribs, or arms.
Keep it clean and shaded
Tokyo summers are humid. Follow artist instructions, avoid direct sun, and let the skin breathe.
Tourist FAQ
Before you book a tattoo in Tokyo
Can tourists get a tattoo in Tokyo?
Yes. We welcome international visitors and can guide you through booking, design direction, and aftercare in English.
Do I need a passport?
Bring a valid photo ID. For most travelers, a passport is the simplest and most reliable form of ID.
Can I walk in?
Walk-ins may be possible when an artist is available, but booking online is strongly recommended for visitors with limited dates.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing depends on size, placement, detail, and artist. Small tattoos start from around ¥15,000, with final quotes confirmed after consultation.
Can I get tattooed right before flying home?
Often yes for small or medium pieces, but comfort depends on placement, flight length, and your aftercare plan. Tell us your departure date when booking.
