Innocent tattoo carver "I want to raise safety awareness myself" September 19, 4:35

A man in Osaka, who is a tattoo carver for tattoos, was acquitted in a criminal charge for injuring a customer's body without a doctor's license. In response, he held a press conference and stated that "the carver himself wants to raise his awareness of safety."

Taiki Masuda (32), a carver in Suita City, Osaka, who was acquitted of violating the Medical Practitioners Act for putting a tattoo on a customer without a doctor's license, was acquitted of a fine in the first instance. However, the two courts were acquitted in a reversal, and the Supreme Court also decided to dismiss the prosecution's appeal on the 16th of this month, so the innocence was confirmed.



In response to this, Mr. Masuda held a press conference in Osaka City on the night of the 18th, "I am relieved to be able to say with pride that what I have done was not a mistake. I am grateful to the supporters. There is only one, "he said with a relaxed look.



He noted that the Supreme Court's presiding judge had indicated that the regulation of the law to prevent the health hazards of tattooing should not be under the existing Medical Practitioners Act. Based on the activities of industry groups, the carver himself wants to raise awareness of safety. "
