I'm only familiar with the Ryukyu Horiyoshi tattoo place that everyone goes to, Monster Ink (098-939-0995) tattoo up the street from Richie Rich just off KAB gate 2, or Needle Slave on hwy 58. I don't have any tattoos, but people I know who do liked these folks.

My wife got a tattoo from Ryukyu Horiyoshi. She won some type of drawing at a bar a few years back and got a tattoo from them for free. It's a small butter fly on her lower right back. It's pretty good, I was thinking about getting something myself.

If you want to get away from the more commercial tattoo places... Botans. I don't know if they have a website, but I can send you directions if you want. It's almost Japanese only, but they do allow Americans... if they are nice. They do the traditional Japanese tattoos. They are outstanding with detail, and very cheap. The best tattoo that I have is from them... it's also one of the cheapest and it's a half sleeve

Or try Joe's Tattoos in the Harley bar near Kitamae (commissary gate) of Foster.

Oneshot is excellent! I highly recommend them.

I don't have a tattoo, but I also recommend the 'One Shot' tattooe place down in Naha. I kind of know the owner and his wife and he is a professinal from the mainland.
The place is huge inside and has it's own parking.
