For the sake of Science, we all got new tattoos!!! Wait until you see Ryo's ... ;) We cover the image of tattoos in Japan, and the downsides to having them while living in Japan. We also invite TSUOMASU from DIE/MAY to talk with us about how it is living in Japan with tattoos. I got an entire three tattoos actually.
The tattoo parlour we went to is Tattoo SPIN in Meguro. I'll link it down below:

Also please check out Tuomas's music, with his band DIE/MAY:

Hi, I'm Josh. I was hanging my clothes when I heard, "Hi Josh! Talking 'bout you again!" and my first thought was "Great. The computer is talking to me. I've lost it"
Get used to it Josh, I've fixated on you ;)
Not sure whether to be happy or to go into witness protection
CAN WE GET A “yea” COUNTER IN THE CORNER?!
yea
those old people look strangely familiar...
the background music and noise is simply bad
This time it's the lighting on Theresa's hair that's giving me life.
muah :*
i love your Chanel!!!
Some inks have metal in them, an MRI uses large magnets. Does not end well, I was told it can actually pull metals out though your skin. I asked when I saw a sign asking about tattoos the last time that I got an MRI.
LOVE your Show BTW :)
OOHH
In the US, I cleaned at a hospital for a couple years. In radiology, they asked everyone if they had tattoos that were going to get an MRI. I'm not sure if you were denied (meaning you would have to get a CT scan instead), but they definitely raise a flag because of the possibility of metal in the ink.
Anything in the last twenty years will be metal free (in the us at least) due to regulations. Anything before that may or may not have metal in it, which is the concern
The FDA in the US do not heavily regulate tattoo inks, mostly because it's considered a cosmetic product. It was thought that iron oxide in inks caused burning or burns on the skin, but it can be any metal creating an electric current from an MRI. In the US it's unlikely, but not sure about inks from other countries. Also depending on location of a tattoo and what someone is getting a MRI for, tattoos could distort the image if the tattoo is covering the area being taken.
i think there is too many effects in the video. you guys already have so much energy in you. don't need to upgrade that
I adore you guys but I think 3 ppl in the studio is too much, sometimes is just "yeah yeah" and i cant really undestand what are you saying, although the idea of a video is awesome!
himbeertee Not being native English speaker myself I say “yeah” because in my head it makes me sound more american, they might have a similar habit. I know where you’re coming from, the conversation wasn’t perfectly fluid, but it didn’t bother me. They had really good points and I’m sure the quality will improve as they gain more experience :)
I think uwagapies has changed it's target group to a much younger then me.
Looking at your grammar I think the age group is just right.
Kris, pink light is too strong :/
Damian its Perfect
Agreed
The only thing that may interfere with MRI or CT scans is metal. Peircings may be a problem.
I have many tattoos and unfortunately have had many MRI. My scans were just fine. The doctors were able to spot my tumor.
It's very dangerous to deny someone medical procedures, especially ones so life safing as a scan. If I hadn't been scanned I could have died. In the case of refusing to treat someone based on appearance should be considered a human rights violation. You should use your platform to help change this or at least get people thinking on how exactly messed up this is.
nice one this is!!!
"And don't get a star tattoo on you're face, it's pretty dumb"... XD Cool episode by the way: your energy is so funny/nice!
Thank you!!!
“I drew it on with marker” lol that was adorable, she’s so proud 😂
Happa here, I'm fully tattooed except for forearms, hands and shins
I look full Japanese so when I go back to Japan people can be pretty distant and wary of me when they see my tattoos so I'd rather hide them
It's hard in the summer tho, I hope this will change
yeah, yeah, yeah...
mhm, yeah, yeah...
I'm in the US, have a tattoo, and have had a couple of MRIs. Tattoos don't interfere with MRIs.
Tattoos in some countries have metal in the ink and will react to an MRI. Now a days, tattoo ink is much cleaner and healthier.
CAROLE FREEMAN It must not be a thing, in the US then, because I've also known others who have had MRIs and also had tattoos, including my dad, and the doctor and technicians didn't even bother to ask if any of us had tattoos.
I love you guys! Beautiful light, Kris *.* I have tattoo and would love to visit Japan, so it was super interesting for me. And your guest's tattoos look awesome!
Very cool!"
Thanks!
Idk why but since there are no Kris the editing gets more and more chaotic...
Nah, it's just because we have multiple editors for this channel and they all have a slightly different touch. All videos are Kris approved! ahah
The thing with MRI is that before, ink for tattoos had led in it, and if you were to be inside the MRI, it would turn red, hurt, you'll get a rash, and depending on a size, it can start burning.
Ryo is so cool
He knows ;D ahahah jk
And humble lol
Bardzo ciekawy temat ale z udzialem kasi zawsze lepiej sie ogląda. 😀
About MRI - black ink used to contain iron so it was messing with MRI, it is not used in black ink anymore for quite a while
INKredible!
I love bubbles
I'm over here like 😱 omg not his face 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What if you have one of those fake peel off "just add water" children's tattoos, are those exceptional since you can just wash them off or are they not allowed?
Sorry but this is unwatchable:(
It’s to do with the ink, some tattoo inks contain metal and they can be ripped out by and MRI and lead a incorrect image (depends on all sorts)
Theresa's dress looks exactly like my granny's apron :D
I like granny style
It is a very interesting topic and if I have seen in several CZcams channels how they live with being foreigners with tattoos in Japan if I have seen more opening and I suppose that having already so close to the Olympic Games more things will arise because it would be a pity if I do not have Consider the amount of tourists that will go with piercings or tattoos...And I guess it depends a lot on what kind of tattoos, I had a friend who did not want to go to Japan for fear of being branded Yakuza and only had a tiny butterfly on the hip hahaha( she made laugh so hard) so I guess it's a super broad subject to deal and not only in Japan but in several countries. Congrats guys love your videos
I have a friend who has 壊れた水 on his arm. He won’t tell anyone what it means. I speak a little Japanese and I guess it says “the destruction of water”... Does anyone know what it could really mean? He is into Japanese haikus. But isn’t that 6 syllables? I’ve been trying to figure it out for years now. Any help would be great!
Some tattoo ink has iron in it and MRI-machine is a huge super-strong magnet. The problem is, that that you actually need to make a very strong concoction in order for it to start burning the meat surrounding it.
I still don't know why they are scared. They know I'm not from gang so why?
It's just the image. Even if they know for a fact that you're not from a gang, they still have this uncomfortable feeling that you may be connected to some trouble, or do drugs or something. But like we said, it's not all the time, and for foreigners is changing quickly!
TheUwagaPies i assume it also relies on the type of tattoo (only makes sense if they are less worried when you for example have a beautiful flower than if you have like a skull it only makes sense that they would be more worried because it actually is a dark sign.. ) i have two tattoos but i have two tattoos that are pretty small one small fish that is actually a disney character and a small piece of text... that is actually just a string of lyrics that i feel connected with (it says: i do not wish to evade the world yet i will always build my own) mainly because of my stephmum who always hissy fits around me for teensy things
MRI machines are just gigantic magnents. Some tatoo ink is lead based and am MRI will literally rip the ink out of your skin
Suomalaien Uwaga Piessa!!
Torille!! I can't believe I didn't recognise the accent but now it seems so obvious... i really wanna get a tattoo or two, but i also wanna go to an onsen.. just gotta wait a few more years :')
Ahahhaaha. There are onsens that offer tattoos! There's one like 5 minutes from my house even.
MRI won't work if you have a tatto due to the fact that some tatt ink has high traces of iron in it and the mri will rip out the iron from our skin
I'm josh, While any metallic substance poses a health risk when MRI machines are involved (that's why people with cardiac pacemakers and inner ear implants that contain metal parts cannot get MRIs), the FDA assures that tattoo burns from MRI machines "seem to occur only rarely and apparently without lasting effects
sup josh.
(PS, yeah the comments have been super informative with this whole MRI thing!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah... Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
They ask if you have a tattoo in the USA before a MRI and CT scan. If you have one they will ask where and how long you've had the tattoo.
There is nothing about having a current/newer tattoo that causes you to not be able to have an MRI. I work in the medical industry and have never had there been an issue for current Tattoo's. It may be for older tattoo's as tattoo's over 20 years ago many of them had been done with metal in the ink causing there to be some issues if the tattoo is older. But newer tattoo artists shouldn't be using such inks anymore. But they don't even ask anymore if you have a tattoo at least in the US as the technology has gotten advanced enough to not notice that type of metallic issue.
If I remember some time ago the US didn't do MRI if you had Prison tattoos cause they supposedly contained metal in the ink and could really hurt you. I'm guessing that might be a possible reason, if other countries maybe have metal in their ink . . . .
For MRI it uses pretty fucking strong magnets and some tattoo dyes contain iron. You can imagine what happens if you expose your cool iron-filled tattoos to strong magnetic fields.
My friend told me that tattoos are almost banned in Greece due to high risk of skin cancer. So if u have one u can have problems with health insurance or insurance policy. Seems logical in this case
You need to mention about Tattoo friendly Onsens and places. They exist.

Honestly, this may be related to that myth that if you have tattoos, the composition of the ink can cause the skin to explode in an MRI machine. Which is entirely false but a lot of people believed it for a long time. I believe even in the US long ago, you couldn't get an MRI if you had tattoos but I'm not sure on that entirely.
I have a upper-half sleeve and got an MRI just fine in the US, I think it might just be a Japanese thing...?
I have a bunch of tattoos, and I also have epilepsy. MRIs are a regular for me, so I personally don't know why they wouldn't be allowed in Japan. Hm.
I will love to go to Japan, but I do have tattoos on my back shoulder to shoulder.. Those that mean I won't be able to go get into the sauna or hot water recreations ..
Some tattoo pigment contain iron and therefor the mri can badly burn your skin.... same problem with metal workers who can have remaining dust in there eyes
He is very handsome
Who?? :D Ryo or Tsuomasu?
TheUwagaPies Ryo ❤
I agree! ❤
Both
Quebo miał swoje wejście ❤️😂
I must agree, Quebonafide is a good example of "very" tattooed person. 😃 Have you added a photo of him on purpose or have you chosen a random image from the internet?
Ok so what did Ryo say exactly when he was talking about his friend who had to tape up his ankle? He could'nt leave a table? Huh?
When you follow Tsuomasu on Instagram and suddenly he appears with your favourite CZcamsrs... I'M SHOCKED
L M A O. Tsuomasu is one of my best friends 💓💚you'll probably see him again real soon
interesting video but background music is too loud and hard to understand what they say
Hey! Could you talk one by one? xD I mean when you are talking in the same moment it is hard to understand everything.
✌❤
Other posters are correct in the fact that some tattoo inks contain iron oxides, which when exposed to the incredibly strong magnetic fields generated during an MRI scan can cause first and second degree burns (the ink will not get pulled out of your skin, stop believing everything that happens on House MD). This isn't likely to be a huge problem with most professionally done tattoos, but tattoos that are done in prison as well as traditional ones done with some very black inks (similar to iron gall ink) do tend to contain a lot of iron.
The biggest problem, though, is that MRI images are very distorted by these inks, to the point of being unreadable. X-rays and CT scans are similarly affected, as metal shows up as pure white (completely radiopaque) and will block anything in the beam's path in front or behind the area. I guess essentially you're just wasting their time and money? These effects are only a problem in the local area of the tattoo, though, so I'm not sure if you would be denied, for example, a knee scan if you have a shoulder tattoo? Maybe the Uwaga Pies can clarify? :)
PS Looking to move to Japan in the next few years, so I'm loving all of the wonderful information you guys provide! Keep up the awesomeness!
PPS 95% of your videos make me super hungry :)
12:15 nice shirt
You can't give blood too if you have a tattoo, no?
You guys are fun, i like the videos channel has been making recently - at the same time, i miss Kasia and Kris :[ it would be nice if we can get some kind of explanation to why the channel made this huge change... lack of this information makes me a bit worried about two of them...
Yeeeeah, we were thinking that too! But don't worry! It's just because, Kasia and Kris are superstars and are busy with their company and other channels. They're not gone and we're planning videos with them too! Also, Ryo and I are trainees so they're trying to give us a lot of space to learn through experience!
I've had MRI's done and I've got sleeves, it can be done.
Yeah of course, apparently we learned it's because home tattoos cans sometimes have traces of metals or iron in the ink.
TheUwagaPies yeppers have a good day.
Don’t marry that tattooed monster!! 😂
good you explain this joke i would't know that you are't serious xd you have nice fun there, greetings.
Why japan is so ignorant about tattoos? For me, it was a traumatic experience being constantly exposed to the random and racist comments about my skin everyday single day of my trip
Is because in Japan Tattoos are associated with Yakuza=Mafia. In Japan is mandatory for any Yakuza member to cover the whole body in tattoos and being recognizable. Is not ignorance, is how things go in Japan.
troche za chaotyczne . Dzwieki ,chichy ciezko sie skupic
Yaas finland spotted🇫🇮 (suomalaiset=sauna kansa😂😂)
Hei söpöläinen ;D
Ööh moi?
Terve!
Hehee kaikki finskit tulee tänne kommaa😂😂
Ahaha I'm just using google translate, but one day I'll learn Finnish. It's on my bucket list. Check out Tuomas's other stuff too (all in the description). If you enjoyed him on our video, I'll invite him back again!
jejejejeje
4:06 Absolute monster :)
Jail tattoos can have metal in them. The idea is if it's poor ink and contains metal and MRI will cause it to harm you (see some episode of House one time) I don't think that's true but not 100%
there should be "like" counter or smth :D
Truly. XD
ahemm... but im a 50kg girl ?! WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF?
"Hmm... Maybe ninja?!" ;)
Uhh, that'd be cool :P
LOL
Whole video Ja ja ja ja ja
I would go to japan to make a tattoo... #edgy
Yeah that's why I did it. To look edgy lol
Fiiirst I think, Hi there 😊
Yay!! I was waiting for you
You tatoo monsters!
i k r
I call bullshit on the fact that MRI doesn't work properly when you have tattoos, have quite a few of those and had plenty MRIs and everything worked, I haven't exploaded or anything haha. I think it is just another prejudice thing, because I have never heard of ANY medical reasons why people with tattoos shouldn't get an MRI
Gdzie Kasia!?
Karo
well i'm fucked since I'm Asain and don't pass as a foreigner lol
Loooooool sorry
WHY!?!?!
Hey past me!!! It's future me, THE STAR TATTOO WAS FAKE
RYO IS NEW SEXY VEGAN
2:23 Quebonafajda 🗾
Ryo Joestar?
Ale to sztuczne i słabe...
They seem like a bunch of addicts.
My apologies.
Tsuomasu.... What accent is this.... is it finnish?
Edit: Perkele. I obviously have no patience. He talks about Finnland, twenty (?) seconds after my comment.....-_- xD
Some type of tatoo ink contain metal particles. So mayby because of this they dont allow people with tatoo to get mri.
Te audio jest zjebane
Głos z mikrofonu wydaje się tak jakby "suchy". I słychać w tle taki irytujący szum. Nie wiem czym to jest spowodowane, ale brzmi to wszystko sucho i metalicznie. Jak na jakimś suchym polu XD. Słychać każdy szmer w tle. Każde "s" albo "z" w głosie brzmi źle. Odcinek spoko, ale dźwięk jest dziwny
Kz stop being a bitch
Yuki Yamamoto but im a bitch
Dolej wody do głośników ahah ~
I don't like these new guys, make the uwaga pies great again
Weeaboos being weeaboos.. Yeah, so.. What else is new..
Scared? Sorry, but seeing tattooed people is not a pleasant thing (even of that tattoo(s) are done by pros). It's just DISGUSTING not SCARY.
And btw, what happened? Did you forget to switch account by any chance?
Unsub, I guess.
I'm curious, why do you think it's disgusting?
Also, huh? ahaha. Kasia wanted to be in this one but she was so busy.
where is kashia and kris?¿
They're busy doing other company projects TT^TT BUT WORRY NOT they shall be back. I miss them too they're always so busy, even in office v_v
TheUwagaPies aaw well if is that is okay, I was a bit worried. I love how you make videos too, It's just I noticed that and got curious >w< thankx for replying^^
