A unique collaboration between Instagram account Shibuya Meltdown and TATTOO STUDIO YAMADA has been realized in a limited-edition release of T-shirts and posters.

As the name may suggest, the Shibuya Meltdown Instagram account roams the streets of Tokyo at night to document those who’ve had a little too much to drink. The posts show raw and strikingly hilarious scenes, gaining the account considerable popularity in Japan and abroad.

In the lookbook, TATTOO Studio YAMADA’s lead tattoo artist Len Yamada models the collection himself by sitting in a jumble of crushed Strong Zero cans. The collection consists of a ringer T-shirt featuring a mouse and pigeon graphic symbolizing the back alleys of Shibuya on the front and “what goes up must meltdown” text on the back. The poster displays symbolic artwork in Len’s traditional American tattoo style.

The products are now on sale at the TATTOO STUDIO YAMADA webstore. Have a look at the Shibuya Meltdown Instagram account here.

DISCLAIMER: We discourage irresponsible and/or underage drinking. Drink responsibly and legally.
