A specialist publication documenting Japanese tattoo culture and underground subculture. In 2002, tattooing in Japan existed in a legal gray zone — a Supreme Court ruling only clarified the legal status of tattoo practitioners in 2020. This magazine treated irezumi as craft and art at a moment when the people it documented had no formal legal protection. Features Guitar Wolf. Dense with imagery spanning classic and tribal traditions.
