I noticed when I was in Japan that it was mostly females who had visible tattoos. What would you say is most popular style of tattoos you do in Tattoo Church?
Mostly tribal and Japanese. Now I have an apprentice named Harley Davidson (real name!) and he’s a young
gun from Brazil as well, specializing in the chicano/pachuco black & gray style. We have many guests coming from all the corners of the globe, so I guess we have a good variation of artists and styles to
the demand of the clients.

How would you compare the Japanese style of tattoos to the Western way of tattooing?
It is different the way we treat the clients I guess. In the places I worked in the West, I felt like the relationship was more like friends. Here in Japan the clients kinda look up to the tattooists…that is not
a bad thing but we ‘re trying to break down any barriers that may build between both parties so we can create an environment were people don’t feel intimidated to ask questions or place requests.

Do you have any tattoo conventions or guest appearances planned?
Next year I guess we’re going to the States and hope one day we can visit Australia as well. I met Kate from Chapel Tattoo in Melbourne while she was here in Japan and she is always asking me to visit…so why not?
Tell me your most unusual or interesting tattoo story!
Every tattoo is unusual and interesting!
My motto is always learning while we are alive!
