Tattoo Tribal Magazine Vol.11
A publication capturing the emergence of tattoos as a fashion trend among Japanese youth.
We are all well aware of the influence and popularity of street fashion in Shibuya and Harajuku during the 90s, thanks to the viral content that has circulated on social media for almost a decade. However, what has not been documented is that tattoos were also a part of this era. Tattoos became a stylistic aesthetic and a fashion trend, with tattoo artists of that time catering to cool, young creatives instead of the Yakuza.
This shift in tattoo culture gave rise to a more individualized approach, leading to the popularity of magazines such as Burst and Tribal Tattoo, among others. These magazines would feature the cool people of Tokyo and their ink, capturing the essence of tattoo conventions and events taking place throughout the city.
