The shop itself is located in the old part of Nagoya in the neighborhood of Naka. Here you will find various shops (not only tattoo shops) that have been around for hundreds of years. Shops here still deal with slowly dying trades like handicrafts for the local traditional market. Eccentric Super Tattoo was the first tattoo shop in this area and is still going strong at the same location Sabado started in 1990. The original shop on the street level has been transformed into a small café run by Yukino, Sabado’s younger sister. She also takes care of all the chores that a busy tattoo shop deals with on a daily basis. She’s a friendly, first contact with the rest of the shop and fluent in both English and Japanese, which makes the shop feel very international without the usual culture barriers. Sabado works at his newer location around the corner.
