[gateauxQ]

Awesome interview, thanks for uploading. The history of tattoo art is and techniques is super interesting, I'll definitely be picking up a book on it next time I'm at Chapters.

i met ben last night at a bar here in Osaka. I was drunk and probably stormed up to him way to intensely like "whoa you're the dude on the video about the tattoos and the da da da etc..." haha, but he's a really cool and interesting guy and was nice enough to give me some pointers on surviving in japan.

great video man - keep them coming! i moved to osaka three weeks ago and you wouldn't believe just how much these have helped me get settled in here.

Peace!

i forgot to say i all so have traditional full back tattoo and am looking at doing sleeves and chest next .

[wrx2002subaru]

great vid i have had interest tattooing ever since i was a child and in particular the Japanese style i have just found that a lot of there art seems timeless to me and i have slowly been working on a Japanese inspired range of jewelery use traditional techniques and materials all though i would love to study in japan on these things further as a lot of information is hard to find so i fully respect the what benny went through in his apprenticeship

[LobeSmoke]

Dude thanks for this, awesome pair of videos.

Really interesting.

Long vids ftw son!

[anakin1949]

I never thought about hanya *spelling?* masks showing different emotions based on how they were oriented. I just always thought they where made to be extremely emotive, not different emotions. Good job.

[dagga18]

This was really interesting and I liked the part when he told about his struggle very real. I would love to see the book the drawings look amazing from viewer point of view.

[unrested]

it definitely is and oh how i have milked that right to the fullest lol.

[KautiousKat]

You make a good journalist. I'm into it!

[reaper4255]

Your videos are getting very in depth!

This is the kind of stuff I enjoy the most!

The stories and history that tv doesn't go into!

[unrested]

yeah thats exactly what i feel it is my job to cover with these videos. especially now that i have partnership. i want this channel to be more in depth and really dig deeper into real life japan and the people who live here.

[HardcoreTriplex]

Im so surprised you got these up so quickly. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in japan and ben's story! This answered a lot of questions I had initially about Japanese culture such as the Yakuza, Art, etc... I bet you're going to get some sweet tattoos from him as well. Anyways looking forward to your upcoming videos. If I ever get a video camera I'm definitely going to give a shout out to you, busankevin, betamaxdc, Hiko and the like. THANKS AGAIN!

[unrested]
