Ozzy and Jack's World Detour 1x7

1. So, you got a show

2. in Japan coming up.

3. So, I'm gonna fly out, meet you,

4. and we'll start the adventure.

5. I have no idea, but that's fascinating.

6. That's, that's really interesting.

7. I do. It's a bit of a quest because

8. the guy I want to get it from

9. is really hard to get a hold of.

10. Really?

11. So, you gonna get a tattoo?

12. Traditional?

13. Yeah, they're called tebori.

14. That's where they do it by hand.

15. Are you out of your mind?

16. Have some guy go—

17. —with a mallet? Yeah.

18. You gotta be stoned.

19. But, it's good for father son bonding.

20. My name's Jack Osbourne and this-

21. is my dad Ozzy.

22. Heavy metal god.

23. Are you ready?

24. Prince of Darkness.

25. And surprisingly enough-

26. history nerd.

27. As the old saying goes...

28. Like father, like son.

29. So my dad and I are doing something

30. we've always wanted to do.

31. We're hitting the road.

32. Just the two of us and a bucket list of places

33. and things we've only ever read about in books.

34. Oh, my god, this is amazing.

35. Or seen on TV and the web.

36. Do you have your knife?

37. Yes.

38. 'Cause of all days, we might need it.

39. There are no roadies. No tour busses.

40. What the is this?

41. No boundaries.

42. Welcome to Ozzy and Jack's World Detour.

43. Let's rock and roll.

44. So, we're in Japan at Ozzfest, actually.

45. My dad is currently on stage.

46. One more song!

47. One more song!

48. But, since we're in Japan,

49. we thought that it would be, uh,

50. an opportunity lost if we didn't

51. go on some kind of an adventure.

52. So, we'll see what happens.

53. After the concert, me and my dad went

54. to a late dinner to meet Darren,

55. our tour guide.

56. We were still jet-lagged but when in Japan,

57. you tour Japan.

58. We're going to a samurai themed restaurant.

59. Themed restaurant.

60. It's all right, me too.

61. The jet lag here is brutal.

62. Yeah, they will.

63. Thank you.

64. Darren.

65. Jack.

66. Hello, sir. Hey, boss.

67. So, what do you think?

68. Naw, this is pretty cool.

69. Well, welcome to Japan my friend.

70. Thank you, thank you.

71. By the way, any luck about the tattoo?

72. I reached out to Horiyoshi the Third, right.

73. He's third generation Japanese style tattoo artist.

74. He goes way back,

75. he's in the legendary category.

76. I'm used to just some like,

77. kid in a random tattoo shop.

78. Not a legendary tattoo artist.

79. I was really hell bent on getting a

80. traditional Japanese tattoo and so when

81. I heard that Horiyoshi the Third could

82. actually be tattooing—

83. Horiyoshi the Third, is that a person?

84. He is the tattooist.

85. You want to do the bamboo style?

86. That is, more traditional.

87. It's more painful.

88. Mmm. I'm, I'm totally fine with that.

89. I'm not too sure about he feels about the bamboo.

90. Oh, really?

91. I'm not into pain that much.

92. Yeah, yeah. Nor am I.

93. Tebori is when they take a long

94. bamboo or metal stick.

95. It almost looks like a paintbrush.

96. But he lines it up right here,

97. almost like a pool cue,

98. and he just goes like that.

99. that.

100. We were talking about, on the cab ride

101. over here, was that uh, uh, samurai swords.

102. Yeah, no, indeed.

103. I was fascinated by how they did it, you know?

104. Indeed.

105. We wanna look at the menu and get some

106. food, right? Yeah.

107. I love Japanese food. So I'm, I'm not afraid to

108. eat anything over here.

109. It's pretty cool, they just like,

110. ring a bell at dinner and all of the sudden 'poof'!

111. There's this lady with a whole plate full of food.

112. I was so wiped out after

113. the show all I wanted was a coffee IV.

114. Any coffee?

115. You want some coffee? Yeah.

116. Okay.

117. There's no coffee.

118. I'd get green tea. No.

119. Green tea. There's caffeine in that.

120. It's really good iced.

121. Anything.

122. We have to pick the restaurant with no

123. coffee.

124. So, John from the office wants

125. me to give you this to take

126. pictures while you're here in Japan.

127. 'Cause he wants to use them on like,

128. your Facebook and your Instagram 'cause

129. I guess they're trying some new thing.

130. So, it works exactly like an iPhone.

131. Hey, I'm a rock star, not a photo journalist.

132. This is what rock stars in the

133. twenty first century do now.

134. Fabulous. Peace brother.

135. Another gizmo to lose.

136. There you go. Don't worry,

137. you won't lose it.

138. Okay, well uh, why don't you hit the sack.

139. I'm gonna go cruise around. Yeah, okay.

140. My dad was going to bed but I was wide

141. awake and wanted to check out the near by

142. Shabuya Crossing.

143. Currently walking through the busiest

144. intersection in the world.

145. Can I take picture?

146. Uh, really. Okay, sure. Yeah.

147. Cool. Okay.

148. All right, took a bunch of pictures

149. with teenagers.

150. So, you got everything you need?

151. Yeah. I just gotta pee before we go.

152. All righty.

153. I'm obsessed with them.

154. There unbelievable.

155. It vibrates and it's kind of interesting.

156. I wanna know what it's gonna do next.

157. Ne-next is the French tickler.

158. Let's go get a coffee.

159. My dad still needed coffee.

160. I read about these coffee vending

161. machines that they have all over

162. Japan and I thought, he would love it.

163. All righty, so, the—

164. Which one, which one—?

165. So, the read is hot. The blue is cold.

166. Black. That one is like cafe ole.

167. It's got milk and sugar.

168. That's for you. Pull it.

169. Wow, this is great.

170. This is great, this is-

171. It's awesome. I love the coffee here.

172. Well, cheers. Cheers... Lunch.

173. Nice day. Lovely day.

174. We really lucked out on the weather.

175. Now, it's kind of interesting isn't it,

176. there's nothing really around here.

177. They do.

178. You know,

179. I know.

180. Look, I can cough on you now.

181. And don't gotta worry about it.

182. You could off.

183. After we had out coffee fix,

184. we started our historic,

185. Japanese adventure.

186. Since my dad was so obsessed

187. with Japanese Samurai swords,

188. our translator Darren drove us to

189. meet Isou Machii, Japan's finest swordsman

190. and modern day Samurai.

191. You got your camera?

192. See, you're getting the hang of it.

193. Okay. I'll lose it, you know that.

194. Isou Machii: Nice to meet you.

195. Nice to meet you, pleasure.

196. This is uh, Machii Sensei.

197. Machii Sensei.

198. Sensei Machii is the premiere

199. Samurai swordsman in the world.

200. Wow. How many swords do you own?

201. So, here's what I know.

202. A Japanese sword, or katana,

203. is among the finest cutting weapons

204. in world military history.

205. It's also the weapon of choice for the Samurai.

206. The art of sword making goes back to

207. the first century and if an old sword

208. has been well maintained,

209. you will forever see the beautiful

210. engraving on the blade identifying

211. the owner and the signature of the maker.

212. The oldest swords made by the most

213. famous artists can fetch hundreds of

214. thousands of dollars.

215. Would you like him to put a couple

216. of them on the table?

217. Absolutely.

218. It's just amazing looking at how pristine the steel is.

219. How old is it? How old?

220. This is absolutely beautiful.

221. Would you consider selling it?

222. He's happy to sell this sword.

223. He won't sell it for under a million.

224. A million dollars for a sword.

225. Look at it like a Rembrandt

226. or a Monet or Picasso.

227. Like, there's only one of them.

228. He had not only one,

229. he had quite a few swords there.

230. He did.

231. Were the Samurai police or wh-wh-what

232. was their position in society?

233. When did Samurai way begin to

234. be phased out from Japanese society?

235. Would it be okay if I-

236. if we took a picture wearing the helmet.

237. That's awesome. New Facebook picture.

238. All right, your turn, dad.

239. Priceless. Now smile.

240. Thank you.

241. Machii holds five Guinness World Records

242. for his swordsmanship.

243. Back in the feudal days,

244. the Samurai would test their sharpened

245. blades on rolled up bamboo mats.

246. Machii showed us how he is keeping

247. that tradition alive.

248. The sharpness of that blade is insane.

249. The fact that he could do, like, slice, slice.

250. I just thought he did the one slice.

251. When I saw the slowed down moves,

252. I thought- What?

253. Yeah, he went like—

254. He could circumcise you in a fell swoop.

255. He could take you down a head or two.

256. Oh, he wouldn't have to go far with me.

257. Mmm.

258. That just fascinates me.

259. It's art.

260. But it's more than that, I think.

261. It's a spiritual thing.

262. I really wanted to see how they make them.

263. Is there anyone around here we could

264. maybe go and meet and see, watch them

265. make a sword.

266. He usually rejects a lot of people.

267. Understandably.

268. Howdy, so today is Kyoto day.

269. We're leaving Tokyo.

270. Uh, we're getting on the bullet train

271. which is right down there.

272. Kyoto is, this area is just full of

273. ancient temples and just awesome.

274. And, we are having a traditional Geisha

275. experience at a tea house.

276. We gotta jam so, sayonara.

277. Yeah.

278. We do.

279. Hey, get your camera out and I'll show

280. you how to do a video diary.

281. You know, you know how to spin the camera around.

282. Yeah, yeah. You can selfie it up.

283. Hi gang. It's Ozzy, I'm in Japan

284. with my son Jack. Hello.

285. We've just elected to board this

286. beautiful train.

287. Where are we going, Jack?

288. We're going to Kyoto.

289. We're going to Kyoto to see some Geisha girls.

290. See ya later.

291. Good. You're a pro.

292. All righty.

293. So, I got something to show you.

294. This is called a selfie stick.

295. You can take pictures of yourself anywhere, anytime.

296. So now, you can take pictures, like so.

297. Once you get the hang of it,

298. it's a bit of fun but I think there's

299. gonna be some trouble with that thing.

300. Well, they've been banned in many places

301. like in Disneyland you're not allowed

302. selfie sticks. Why?

303. Because people just walk around like this.

304. Like walking into.

305. Take your little spy camera.

306. So, you know that going to a Geisha house

307. is, is really formal.

308. I've never heard of this before.

309. It's new to me.

310. I know that, like, this is, like, a place

311. where like manners have got to be on

312. like top form.

313. So to be respectful do you want to

314. learn some Japanese phrases?

315. Can you say konnichiwa?

316. Konnichiwa.

317. That's hello. Kudasai?

318. Kudasai.

319. Kudasai. Means please.

320. Sayonara?

321. That means, that means good...

322. can't I say good night in English?

323. Can you say Ogenki desu ka?

324. No.

325. Say Ogenki...

326. Ogenki sukunukuka

327. What's that mean?

328. That's how are you?

329. Well, I've got some news for you,

330. off... kudasai.

331. You've got it. You're a cunning linguist.

332. My dad and I had arrived in Kyoto,

333. the former imperial capital of Japan,

334. to get a taste of ancient Japanese culture.

335. Our first stop, one of the most

336. exclusive teahouses in the city.

337. So here's the deal.

338. In Japan, a teahouse is like a cool club.

339. But instead of screaming at the bartender

340. to get noticed, you get your own

341. servers called geisha.

342. In a tradition dating back to the seventeen hundreds,

343. the geisha sing, dance, chat you up,

344. and serve you tea and food.

345. Oh, and the customers are mostly men.

346. I'm slightly nervous being in here.

347. It's like having high tea with the royals.

348. The teahouse is not for tourists.

349. It's an exclusive locals-only spot

350. and the girls didn't speak much English.

351. Uh, I'm Jack.

352. I'm Ozzy.

353. Ozzy. Ozzy.

354. My name is Mikako.

355. I'm Jack. Pleasure.

356. My name is Katsusen.

357. Katsusen. Jack. Nice to meet you.

358. Nice to meet you.

359. So, there's a whole ritual with those

360. business cards and giving and receiving.

361. When you give a business card,

362. traditionally you hold it with two hands

363. and you go present it at a bow and st-

364. How do you know all this?

365. The first time I ever went to Japan,

366. one of your promoters explained it to me.

367. It's a whole thing.

368. Wow.

369. So uh...

370. I must say that that was the most

371. awkward experience of my life.

372. I was trying to learn bits of Japanese

373. on the train, but I couldn't remember

374. one word.

375. Do you live here?

376. Do you live here?

377. Darren.

378. After some awkward silence,

379. we finally gave up and brought

380. Darren in to translate.

381. When Darren came in, I was like,

382. Ugh, thank you, because it just made

383. it so much easier.

384. What normally happens when you uh,

385. entertain guests at the teahouse?

386. What is the difference between Maiko and Geiko?

387. How long have you been Maiko and Geiko?

388. One minute.

389. They were very polite tho.

390. I though the performance was pretty interesting

391. and I noticed you were using your camera.

392. I think I got some good pictures, actually.

393. What the hell?

394. All right, you're good.

395. We're here in Japan,

396. me and my son Jack and we're having

397. a great adventure.

398. Meet the girls.

399. Ozzy!

400. How did you like your can of coffee?

401. It's good, isn't it?

402. My dad and I were in the thousand

403. year old former imperial capital of Japan.

404. Kyoto.

405. Where our love of Samurai culture and

406. little cans of Japanese coffee continued.

407. Darren, I was reading about a temple,

408. is it Chion-in, where they filmed

409. The Last Samurai?

410. Yeah, sure.

411. How close is it to where we are?

412. Like three minutes.

413. Three minutes?

414. Can we, can we go?

415. Yeah.

416. Yeah.

417. That was the whole point of the movie.

418. He was, was a warrior but, you know,

419. the warrior heart transcends—

420. —transcends culture and, and uh,

421. love him or hate him,

422. Tom Cruise has the sexiest sprint you've ever seen.

423. You're like, "Damn it! I wish I could run that cool!"

424. What the hell?

425. Although traditional Japan is disappearing

426. into the modern city,

427. Chion-in temple is still standing strong

428. after seven hundred and eighty two years.

429. So, I really had to check it out.

430. Will we see Tom Cruise here, I wonder?

431. I want to get eighteen Samurai swords out

432. of his chest.

433. Whoa! This place is massive.

434. Wow.

435. Shall we head on up?

436. Is there a bathroom anywhere?

437. My dad just had to and uh, pee again.

438. Um, you know he'll drink like nine thousand cups

439. of coffee and then whine when there's

440. not an instant bathroom.

441. Uh, but hey, you know, gotta love him.

442. All right, here he comes.

443. Have, have you relieved yourself?

444. Yeah.

445. Did you deposit the urine in

446. the correct urine receptacle?

447. Absolutely.

448. This is cool.

449. Wow.

450. I've been here before, I think.

451. You have?

452. Yeah. In my last life.

453. This is amazing.

454. Since twelve thirty-four, a Buddhist temple

455. has stood on the site of Chion-in.

456. Although the original buildings burnt down,

457. the Sanmon gate was built in sixteen nineteen

458. and is the largest surviving structure

459. of its kind with over seventy thousand roof tiles.

460. Some scenes from the Tom Cruise movie,

461. The Last Samurai, were also filmed here

462. in two thousand and three.

463. There's a famous scene in Last Samurai where he,

464. like, is walking into this massive eighteen hundreds'

465. Samurai village in, like, the shot,

466. but then when you reverse the shot

467. and you look that way, you're in the middle

468. of, like, a city and there's light poles.

469. Well, here we are, Jack.

470. All right, picture time.

471. That's pretty cool, actually.

472. Smile.

473. Take some artsy ones.

474. Beautiful. Amazing.

475. So, how long 'til we get there, Jack?

476. Forty-five minutes to an hour.

477. Okay.

478. Samurai Master Machii had come through

479. and set up a private meeting for us with his

480. master sword maker, to see how they were

481. actually made.

482. And my dad couldn't have been more excited.

483. Old McDonald

484. had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.

485. And on that farm

486. he had a, uh, Samurai sword maker,

487. E-I-E-I-O.

488. With a stab, stab here. And a stab, chop there.

489. Here a stab, here a chop,

490. everywhere a stab, chop.

491. Old McDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.

492. With a stab, stab here. And a stab, chop there.

493. Here a stab, here a chop,

494. everywhere a stab, chop.

495. He's uh, just for the two of you

496. getting his uh, showing you what he does.

497. Going in that smelting room,

498. and he's, like, in cotton shorts

499. and sandals with socks.

500. Big mistake right there.

501. You never wear socks with sandals.

502. It looks hot. That looks really hot.

503. Wow! So, is the steel already in there?

504. Heavy.

505. Wow. Iron ore.

506. That was cool.

507. Oh, wow.

508. Wow, that's great.

509. Ah, okay.

510. How do you get the shape so perfect?

511. Sensei, is this the same way swords

512. have been made for hundreds upon

513. thousands of years?

514. Fantastic.

515. Okay. I guess the Sensei wanted me to

516. go outside and practice with a giant hammer

517. before I started swinging it near his face.

518. Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm.

519. Drop the whole body.

520. Okay.

521. You want to go? Ozzy wants to give it a go.

522. Just like the sword, Ozzy.

523. hell.

524. Widen your legs, dad.

525. Go to angle, widen your legs.

526. No, no.

527. You could off.

528. That's pretty good, actually Oz.

529. That's too heavy for me.

530. That was a heavy frickin' hammer.

531. Frickin' hammer?

532. Frickin' hammer.

533. It was a heavy hammer.

534. Sorry, kid mode.

535. One, two, three.

536. Okay.

537. Yea, good, yea.

538. Jack is doing remarkably well with this.

539. You gonna do it?

540. No, you can off.

541. Arigoto. I was totally honored they would

542. let me swing the hammer—

543. Totally.

544. Oh, absolutely.

545. Wow.

546. It's pretty fascinating to me that people

547. can still make swords the way that they

548. did a thousand years ago.

549. Absolutely.

550. There's so many crafts and arts

551. that are disappearing every year now.

552. Yeah. I mean, it's flawless.

553. Straight as a piece of paper.

554. True honor, thank you.

555. Jack, he wants an autograph.

556. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

557. Thank you. Thank you so much.

558. A cookie.

559. I was hoping that with all the

560. hard work I put in for that, like,

561. twenty-five minutes, they would have

562. given me a sword.

563. You a sword?

564. I wanted the sword!

565. Yeah, but I put all the work in.

566. So, it, it's, you're my son!

567. Oh, I see how it is.

568. So, I put the work in and it all goes to you.

569. Thank you, that's right. That's exactly.

570. Today is tattoo day.

571. I'm really excited about this because

572. I'm getting tattooed by Horiyoshi the Third.

573. Horiyoshi is a incredibly famous,

574. well respected, almost legendary tattoo

575. artist here in Japan and he's all but retired.

576. He's currently only finishing body suits

577. and sleeves and things like that; he's been

578. working on.

579. So, to get a new piece from him is,

580. it just doesn't happen anymore.

581. So, it's gonna be a huge kick for

582. me and most likely the highlight of this trip.

583. And it's gonna be with me forever.

584. Hi. Well, I woke up this morning,

585. about six o'clock, and I thought,

586. I want a cup of great coffee.

587. So, I get on the phone and I had the worst

588. time trying to explain to

589. this dimp on the phone what I wanted.

590. I was starting by saying I wanted

591. a cof—a pot of coffee pot or about six cups.

592. So, I get this turned up.

593. Six. It was six pots of coffee.

594. Six large cups and six glasses of ice water.

595. And guess what?

596. No spoons.

597. Before our tattoo appointment with Horiyoshi,

598. we wanted to stop by his personal museum

599. and learn more about the

600. history of tattooing in Japan.

601. Is this it? Yeah.

602. Melissa Louie: This is Horiyoshi-son's wife.

603. Hi.

604. She runs the tattoo museum.

605. Pleasure.

606. Don't knock over anything that's, like,

607. a thousand years old.

608. I mean there's such a rich history

609. of tattooing in Japan.

610. It's awesome. I love it.

611. I think it's so cool.

612. There's been evidence from like,

613. five thousand B. C.

614. Wow. B. C.?

615. Yes.

616. They found cavemen with tattoos, dad.

617. They dug someone out of the ice.

618. So, here's some interesting facts

619. I found on the web.

620. In Japan, when the emperor shut down

621. the Samurai and made them burn their armor,

622. many warriors got tattooed as a secret

623. symbol that they were still Samurai.

624. Tattooing was actually illegal in Japan

625. until nineteen forty-eight.

626. Even today, tattoos are still associated

627. with organized crime and outlaws.

628. Oh, look at this.

629. Yes. These are uh, pictures of how they

630. used to tattoo the criminals.

631. They used to tattoo people who were

632. convicted of crimes with a symbol that

633. signified what that crime was.

634. That's how they would let the members

635. of the public know 'this guy is a criminal, beware.'

636. Some places, I mean, they'd put

637. it on their forehead.

638. There you go, you should get one of those.

639. Where's the tattoo for 'stole TV

640. and got knicked'?

641. You remember who did that?

642. A prisoner.

643. and when I had this one done, I went into

644. the shop drunk. I wanted it to — different

645. to an anchor or the dagger going through a heart.

646. Mmm hmm.

647. Mmm hmm.

648. What inspired you to do it?

649. So wait, now what is that?

650. Horiyoshi the Third made that tattoo tool.

651. He carved it?

652. Yes. Yes.

653. That's the actual, what they—

654. Instead of a machine.

655. Okay.

656. This is what he holds and just

657. pokes you with.

658. This is gonna be you today.

659. Yeah, okay. Interesting.

660. It's got lots of little spikes on the ends.

661. Needles.

662. Yeah, these are just the needles.

663. That's what gets the ink in.

664. I feel like this is gonna hurt a lot.

665. It's a good thing I'm only getting a small one.

666. Does it hurt considerable more

667. than a regular one? Or is it—

668. Yes it does.

669. Just because it takes so long and they

670. pack the ink so solid in there.

671. Yeah.

672. Been trying to tell you.

673. So, you still thinking maybe a tattoo?

674. Maybe a tattoo. Maybe not.

675. The time had come for me to check

676. off my ultimate Japanese bucket list

677. tick and take a piece of Japanese history

678. home with me forever as my dad

679. and I had set off for an appointment

680. with tattoo master, Horiyoshi the Third.

681. If you've got the balls to do the bamboo, man.

682. That's a pain thresh hold I'm not willing to endure.

683. Do you have any tattoos?

684. Naw. Not one. Not one.

685. Don't have one.

686. No.

687. Don't have one.

688. All right.

689. 'Cause if you have one, you'll

690. have two and if you have two,

691. you'll have three and if you have three,

692. you'll have four and so on.

693. I mean, Jack's covered in the things.

694. Did it hurt on your back?

695. Well, they all hurt.

696. Anyone that says they like the tattoo,

697. tattoos, they're full of or

698. they're serial killers.

699. Or, or they're full of Vicodin.

700. We had arrived at Horiyoshi the Third's

701. tattoo studio in Yokahama.

702. Coffee.

703. I was honored and a little nervous

704. to receive a traditional tebori tattoo.

705. Everyone had said that the handheld

706. rod with needles hurts a hell of a lot

707. more than a modern electric machine.

708. We're gonna take our shoes off at

709. the door, I believe.

710. Hello.

711. Oh, hello.

712. How's it going? I'm Jack.

713. I'm Gus.

714. Nice to meet you, Gus. How's it going?

715. Uh, these are for us.

716. Nice to meet you.

717. Horiyoshi the Third. Ozzy.

718. Hello. Hi. Nice to meet you

719. I'm Jack.

720. Jack.

721. Pleasure.

722. Oh. Cool tattoo.

723. Got a few.

724. We got, here we have. Oh nice!

725. That's the most painful tattoo I have.

726. Really? Easily.

727. Yours are professionally done

728. and mine are done—

729. The old school way.

730. Uh, shoulder. Like, back here.

731. I'll show you 'cause I have—

732. Okay, you are here, right?

733. Yeah. I was thinking, like, right here.

734. I knew I wanted to get a, uh, deruma.

735. What's a deruma?

736. This little egg and it's got this creature inside,

737. and it's meant to represent luck

738. and, like, completing plans in the future.

739. You leave it incomplete until whatever you're

740. trying to accomplish is accomplished and

741. then you fill in the other eye.

742. It's a very traditional Japanese tattoo.

743. There's a lot of derumas' about you.

744. Oh, are you planning to get something too?

745. I'm seeing how he gets on first.

746. Okay.

747. I'm gonna be the guinea pig first and then he's—

748. Okay.

749. —gets inspired.

750. Okay.

751. Wow. How long did it take

752. to have all that?

753. Around four years and a half.

754. Which was the most painful part of ink?

755. No.

756. First, Horiyoshi outlined the tattoo

757. stencil with an electric machine.

758. Which I was used to, so it didn't really phase me.

759. How long have you tattooed for?

760. Forty two years ago.

761. Wow! Long time.

762. Ask him what made him want to be

763. a tattooist in the first place.

764. Yeah.

765. Yeah.

766. With the outline completed,

767. Horiyoshi had moved on to the

768. traditional rod and needles,

769. known as tebori.

770. I didn't know what to expect.

771. Scary.

772. I've been tattooed all over but

773. I've never had a traditional Japanese

774. tattoo done in the traditional style of tebori.

775. And, I was totally nervous about that

776. because everyone was like,

777. Oh, it hurts. You feel it.

778. It's different.

779. It's different?

780. Yeah. I'm used to hearing the hum.

781. Yeah.

782. The worst part, honestly, was hearing

783. the needles going in.

784. You could hear like a squelch.

785. It was like—

786. I don't know if I'm just numb or

787. it doesn't actually hurt as much.

788. It's not as bad as the machine, actually.

789. You should get one.

790. It doesn't hurt.

791. It's a good bonding experience.

792. You can get tattooed with me.

793. Let's get you a Hello, Kitty tattoo.

794. I mean, all that talk about,

795. Oh, I might get one. Oh, I might get one,

796. and then all of the sudden it was like, nope.

797. This is definite art.

798. Oh yeah.

799. It doesn't-honestly, this doesn't hurt

800. as much as the gun.

801. He's quick.

802. I'll tell you, it's a lot more

803. relaxing without the buzz.

804. Yeah, it's fine.

805. When you numb it and—

806. Naw, you're not supposed to put

807. that on it afterwards.

808. Gus, it there much difference as far as this,

809. the traditional style versus using a tattoo gun?

810. It's uh, the difference is uh,

811. when it heals.

812. Mmm.

813. The colors heal, like, brighter.

814. Oh wow.

815. Yeah.

816. All finish now.

817. That's cool.

818. Cool, right?

819. Yeah. Well done, Jack.

820. It's very quick. I thought it was

821. gonna be like three hours when

822. you get a traditional one.

823. How do you think our Japanese quest went?

824. Oh, the Samurai stuff was great.

825. Oh, really.

826. I present to thee, a gift.

827. From who?

828. A great Samurai master must never go

829. into battle without the appropriate attire.

830. You must try on your purple Kimono

831. and wear it with great pride.

832. For you are a warrior.

833. What the do you wear this for?

834. In a pub?

835. And I got you a little accoutrement

836. to go with it.

837. You can wear it when you go, like,

838. I don't know, go get a cup of coffee.

839. No thank you. hell.

840. Well, seeing as you were complaining

841. the entire time that you didn't get

842. a Samurai sword,

843. I got you a Samurai sword.

844. This is great.

845. What, how old is this?

846. It is from the Oh Dynasty of twenty sixteen

847. from the Hollywood Boulevard region.

848. So, it's not from Japan?

849. No.

850. This ain't a Samurai Sword.

851. It'll do. Thank you.

852. You're welcome.

853. You look awesome.

854. I feel like a.

855. The quest is complete.

856. Where the am I gonna wear that?

857. You can wear it around the house

858. with nothing else underneath.

859. You can present your Samurai sword.

860. I had a great time.

861. I'll admit it. All right.

862. I had-it's great. Well done.

863. And I've got a memory to last forever.

864. Not only that, I've got all-

865. a lot of it on pho—photo.

866. You got those memories forever on that,

867. on your little iPod.

868. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

869. Bye!
