Japanese Tattoo Style

Japanese-style tattooing is a style I have a real personal connection to — it's built for large, complete stories on the skin. This section covers both classic Japanese work and neotraditional takes on iconic motifs: dragons, koi, samurai, hannya masks, waves, sakura. Traditional backgrounds of waves, clouds, and wind flow naturally around the body, which makes the style perfect for sleeves, backs, and full bodysuits. Take a look through the gallery and let's plan yours.
