Tattoos are the mark of a hero! Tattoos are life! Ever since being saved by a man with a back tattoo as a child, Jimmy has dedicated his life (and skin) to the ancient art of tattooing. Given his school full of delinquents, it’s no surprise that Tattoo Jimmy has become infamous for his skill at inking and brawling alike. So infamous that the biggest, baddest dudes around want to test their mettle against him...but Jimmy doesn’t take shit from anyone. He’s just got to stay in one piece long enough to meet his hero...even if it means bashing a few skulls along the way!
Jimmy (A.K.A. Katsuya Onishi) is a first year at Bara Cross High School's technical track. When he was young, he was saved by a legendary tattoo artist known as “Katsushin.” Ever since then, he’s become captivated by the art of tattooing, even going as far as to tattoo his body all by himself! His dream is to move to America and pursue his savior in order to study from under him and become the world's number one tattoo artist. It’s now April, the season of beginnings. A new academic year has just begun, which means it’s time for new punks to enter Bara High! Among them is someone who’s had a run-in with Jimmy in the past. But a pair of newbies stands out: Iwa Junior High’s two-fer combination, Tuckey & Tsubasa. On their first day, they rack up body counts trying to make a name for themselves in a new environment, culminating in a shot for the top spot against Jimmy! Meanwhile, Tatsuya enrolls in Bota High on a Judo scholarship. But little did he know, Reaper Sally has also enrolled in Bota High out of respect for Pinko. Jimmy’s little brother and Pinko’s junior in the same box. Sparks are totally going to fly!
