This might come as a shock to many, but it did make the news. Okay, don’t worry, there is no chance the FBI, Interpol, or the police department of your country will come banging on your door because of your Naruto tattoo, but you ought to know the story.<\/p>\n

The anime-related e-commerce site MangaUK<\/a> instantly raised attention when the news hit their forum. According to them, Major Anime Studios had worked with the law force to ban tattoos, because they were Intellectual Property violations. Also, there were gangster links to the tattoos.<\/p>\n

They even mentioned that you needed to pay the studio some money for the licensing of the tattoo. This is because you are using their art, and the colors should also be right.<\/p>\n
