Do you have a contact who is an established company in japan to sponsor you?Įven then it may be difficult under tattoo artistry as their is no set category.Īre you looking to work a different job? If so do you have a degree or several years work experience in that field? If you do, you will not be able to also work as a tattoo artist as it would be against that particular work visas conditions. How many years work experience do you have within tattoo artistry? Do you have a bachelors degree? The closest one i can think of is artist visa but tattoo artist isn't in there as one of their examples, it's normally for things like fine arts and photography. I think it may be difficult to obtain a visa for this as it doesn't fit into one of the many work visa categories. Re: Advice For Tattoo Artist Moving To JapanĪre you planning to work in Japan as a tattoo artist? This is a serious inquiry, if you only came here to criticize our line of work, do not bother replying to this thread.
