Tattoo shops in Yokohama

A tattoo is a permanent decision made in a room you'll spend hours in, so the studio matters as much as the artist. Yokohama, Kanagawa has 3 tattoo shops mapped right now. All 3 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Yokohama (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Horikiku Tattoo Art and Inkrat, plus 東京刺青屋. If a studio's missing from Yokohama's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Yokohama

Picking a studio in Yokohama? A little homework pays off:

• Check healed photos at Horikiku Tattoo Art. Fresh tattoos always look good. Ask to see healed work — that's the real quality test.
• Walk-ins mean flash, usually at Inkrat. If you want custom work, book ahead. Walk-in slots are for flash designs and small pieces.
• Sun is the enemy of fresh ink. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
• Tip your artist. Standard practice, like any skilled service. Twenty percent is the usual benchmark for good work.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Yokohama — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Yokohama can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 3, or a tattoo shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.

If you run one of the 3 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
