Ikebukuro is a major hub on Tokyo's north side, with tattoo studios within easy reach of its huge station. The scene here is varied and approachable — Japanese traditional, fine-line, lettering, anime and pop-culture pieces, and cover-ups are all well represented. Studios tend to be welcoming to first-timers, and several have English-speaking artists. Compare Ikebukuro tattoo studios by style, price, and verified-visit reviews before booking.
