DX for Analog Tattoo Studios Facing Doubled Tattoo Population: Industry-Specific SaaS 'Tattoo Japan Studio' Solves Complex Customer Management, Paper Charts, and Unpaid Management Issues

Tattoo Japan Studio - Everything for tattoo studio operations, all in one place.

Liviro Inc., which operates the tattoo media 'Tattoo Japan' (Location: Osaka, Representative: Yuichi Ishiyama), officially launched 'Tattoo Japan Studio,' an industry-specific customer management cloud for tattoo artists and studios nationwide, today, April 2, 2026.

For the development of this system, Bizen, a leading tattoo artist with numerous celebrity clients, participated as a supervisor.

In a rapidly expanding market, this system solves real-world challenges on the ground, creating an environment where all tattoo artists can "immerse themselves in creativity."

1. Why now, "exclusive to the tattoo industry"? The limits of "back-office" left behind in a growing market

Following the Supreme Court ruling in 2020 (no doctor's license required), the Japanese tattoo industry reached a major turning point. Japan's tattoo population has doubled from approximately 700,000 to approximately 1.4 million in the past 8 years, and is projected to grow further to an estimated 1.8 million by 2025.

*Source and estimation basis: Japan's tattoo population is based on research by Professor Yoshimi Yamamoto (Tsuru University) and data from the fashion trade newspaper "WWDJAPAN" (reported December 2024), etc. (2014: approx. 700,000 → 2022: doubled to approx. 1.4 million). With the 2020 Supreme Court ruling (no doctor's license required for tattoo procedures) as a turning point, figures from 2024 onwards are estimated based on growth trends. (Since this is self-reported, the actual number of owners may be even higher)

Furthermore, this growth is not a temporary boom. Approximately 60% of those under 20 years old "agree" with the relaxation of tattoo regulations, indicating a growing demand for tattoos as fashion. Social shifts such as the "Instagram-driven customer acquisition revolution" and "increase in inbound demand" are further accelerating this rapid growth.
