> During a trip to the United States, Dr Masaichi brought along some of his prized tattooed skins in a suitcase. In a bizarre twist of fate, the suitcase was stolen while he was in Chicago. The fate of those tattooed skins remains a mystery to this day, with the thief likely unaware of the unique—and eerie—contents of the suitcase.

Imagine stealing a suitcase only to find it filled with tattooed human skin. Yikes.

I came to see if anyone else has made that connection. I wonder if he saw this and it was an inspiration? Hard to know because he could quite as easily imagined it.

The pics are enough, something very unnerving about flayed human skin.

Trying to find a fence for human skin would hard although, given humanity, I imagine not impossible.

I’m not doubting the veracity of the story, but it reminded me of the “dog in suitcase” urban legend¹.

Maybe the robber this time was Buffalo Bill². In which case, jackpot.
