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
