What to Expect at Three Tides Tattoo

With a 4.3-star rating across 211 reviews, Three Tides Tattoo has built a solid reputation in Osaka's tattoo scene. That review count tells you something important: this studio gets consistent traffic and repeat interest. The rating suggests most clients leave satisfied with their experience. The studio opens at 12pm, which aligns with how many tattoo shops in Japan operate. Midday start times allow artists to work through afternoon and evening hours. What most people miss about choosing a tattoo studio is that review volume matters as much as the rating. A 4.3 with over 200 reviews gives you more confidence than a perfect 5.0 with only five reviews. You can read through feedback from real clients to get a sense of the studio's strengths.
