TAM: What’s your opinion on western tattoo? H: It’s not my style, but I respect it. People in Europe now get interested on Japanese style. That’s very positive. I think that if Japanese style is combined with European style good things might come out.

TAM: Have you done or would you do any western tattoo?
H: No. Only Japanese traditional designs. If somebody wants a small
design or an “American way” one my apprentices are in charge of
this.
