For the first time in history the art of tattooing is now legal in Japan! 🎉

The Japanese Supreme Court has acknowledged tattooing as ART rather than a medical procedure 👩‍⚕️

Previously in order to do tattoos, artists had to get a medical licence to tattoo on people. However, after a recent accident, the regulations were reviewed 🤓

In the result, the Japanese Supreme Court has acknowledged that “tattoos require artistic skills different from medicine, and it cannot be assumed that doctors do the act exclusively” ☝️

As a progressive tattoo studio, Flame Wise Ink (@flamewiseink) would like to congratulate Japan with remarkable news! 🥳

However, now more new regulations and safety procedures need to be implemented to make the process safe and enjoyable for everyone 😉
