#there was defo some miscommunication and FJ didn't toss the lighter insides like I wanted so customs denied it 3 times

OMGGGGG OLEASE WHERE DID THE KIRYU TATTOO LIGHTER COME FROM OMFG

it's official merch for y8 that was on preorder on ebten since last december if I recall but by now sold out. you can still find some via 3rd party sellers on jp marketplaces and ebay 👍 there is also an ichiban variant.

if anyone is interested in this, I rec ebay for this one - sellers there are more versed in selling things that are harder to ship such as lighters or flammable fluids like perfume internationally. in this case, they will disassemble the lighter so it's legal to ship.

*note: ebay also has many lighters that are NOT the official ones. the official one is zippo brand and only features the dragon. if a listing is cheap, it ain't the official one

if you must go proxy, I used fromjapan as they were able to dismantle the lighter upon request. but be sure to also request to dispose of the inner lighter components (flint and all that) so it's just the metal case left.

in any choice, ebay or otherwise, you would have to repurchase new lighter parts if you wanted it to be functional
