dnoblett Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 And in Japan you must be a medical doctor in order to do tattoo. A bit extreme. Osaka court rules tattoo artist’s work violated medical law, was not art or expression. OSAKA – An Osaka tattoo artist was found guilty Wednesday of violating the Medical Practitioners’ Law in a case that drew international attention to Japan’s tattoo culture. Osaka District Court Judge Takaaki Nagase ruled that tattoo artist Taiki Masuda, based in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, had violated the law when he drew tattoos on three individuals in 2014 and 2015, because the use of a tattoo needle was a form of medical work and not, as Masuda had insisted, a form of art and self-expression. “With tattoo treatment, medical knowledge and skills are indispensable in order to sufficiently understand the dangers and carry out sufficient judgments and measures,” the ruling said. “Therefore, unless carried out by a doctor, there is a danger to health and no guarantee of sanitation, making this a medical activity.” The ruling leaves questions over the fate of other similar establishments. Masuda told reporters after the ruling that he planned to appeal the decision. “I do not accept this ruling. I’m practicing art and tattooing is a part of traditional Japanese culture,” he said.

Randy W Posted November 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 . . . and now “My wife gave me three tasks: find a job, quit smoking, and get my tattoos removed.” Tattoo removals are becoming a common choice for a generation that has rejected centuries-old prejudices against body art — only to realize the rest of the country doesn’t plan to follow their lead. http://ow.ly/U2Q250GLnoI from the Sixth Tone on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sixthtone/posts/3086740824978090 Sign of the Times: Why Young Chinese Are Removing Their Tattoos Chinese millennials are getting tattoos in record numbers. But when it’s time to get married or start a career, many are forced to rush back to the studio to get them erased. Quote Chinese regulators have ordered companies not to put tattooed celebrities on screen. The country’s top soccer league has banned “visible ink” during matches. TV shows have begun routinely blurring out people’s tattoos in post-production. The clampdown has convinced many millennials that attitudes toward tattoos aren’t going to soften any time soon. Wu Bo, the owner of Bobo Tattoo Studio, says there has been a marked rise in the number of clients coming for removals over the past couple of years. “People see the blurred-out squares on some people when they watch TV,” says Wu. “Although we can easily tell what’s underneath the squares, the squares themselves are a warning and a reminder.” Suspicion of tattoos has deep roots in Chinese culture. During ancient times, criminals were tattooed so they could be easily spotted in the future — a practice known as the “ink penalty.” Confucianism, meanwhile, considered all forms of body art to be highly immoral.
