We, STJ, cannot imagine the sorrow of victims, relatives and we express deepest sympathy.

In fact, we have no position to state our opinion, but from enthusiastic of TATTOOING, we have to think about some topics from this and post our opinions below:

But from media and broadcasting say “The person who has TATTOO would be regarded as “Not Normal”. In the past, such opinions are occurred frequently among the context of TATTOO is associated with mafia and other violent groups, but STJ would like to express that THIS SHALL BE CORRECTED.
