Looking for affordable tattoo shops that do walk-ins?
yeah three tides is legit but they charge what they charge for a reason. if you want cheaper walk-ins check out Tattoo Soul in Shimokitazawa, they do small flash pieces starting around 5000 yen and you can just show up. another option is Studio Muscat in Shibuya, they take walk-ins on weekends and the artists there are solid for simple stuff. just keep in mind you're paying for cleanliness and safety here so if a shop seems sketchy it probably is
Finding walk-in shops in Tokyo that are cheap and good is a needle-in-a-haystack situation. Most reputable places book out weeks in advance. Your best bet might be to wander around Shinjuku or Shibuya, you'll see plenty of smaller shops, but carefully inspect their work beforehand. Low prices often correlate with... well, you get what you pay for.
lmao another "cheap tattoo in tokyo" post. you get what you damn pay for but if you're dead set on bargain ink try doremo in harajuku they do simple walk-in designs for like 3000 yen for palm sized stuff. it's a tiny
Where can I find crispy, pan-fried bacon similar to a certain international style?
if u have a costco membership the kirkland thick cut is the move, 4 packs of 500g for around 2500 yen and it crisps up proper in a cold pan. for smaller runs, precce in azabudai hills & the basement at isetan shinjuku both carry imported US & danish brands in the chilled case, just read the label for "thick cut" or "smoked" and not "loin". also worth knowing japanese bacon is often wet-cured so pat it dry before frying or it steams instead of crisping
kaldi coffee farm is hit or miss but their smoked bacon from denmark shows up pretty regular, the 200g pack runs about 600 yen. what actually works better for me is asking the butcher counter at peacock or life to slice the block bacon thick, like 5mm, they do it for free and it crisps way better than the pre-packed stuff. also fwiw cheap bacon crisps faster, the fatty supermarket kind at 300 yen a pack works fine if u cook it from cold in a dry pan and pour off the fat as it renders.
tbh the gyomu super store brand bacon is surprisingly decent for crisping up, its not thick cut but if you cook it low and slow it gets pretty crunchy. the key is the dry cure vs wet cure thing, wet cure steams. also check hanamasa if you have one nearby, they sell big packs of american style bacon thats actually smoked and firm.
