A unique collection, a precious source of inspiration for professionals and a mine of information and inspiration for all tattoo lovers.

Tattoo Life is proud to present an exquisite miscellany of subjects, themes and characters created especially for this volume which present the many facets of Japan: from nature to samurai, animals to mythological creatures, including all the mysterious and intriguing characters from an ancient folk tradition: daruma, suikoden, samurai, geishas, dragons and much more.

“We’re faced with the risk of losing the heritage of such a majestic form of tattooing, therefore I feel it is important to spread this culture all around the globe to keep the flame burning. The contamination between cultures is what will lead us to a better future in my opinion, therefore I don’t feel the need to be a Japanese citizen to do Japanese tattoos, just as a Japanese violin player does not need to be European to perform Mozart on his instrument.” – by Crez
