English-Speaking Tattoo Studio in Tokyo — Ueno

I specialize in blackwork — designs that combine strength and delicacy, expressed through the shades and lines of black alone. Because getting tattooed is at least a little nerve-racking for anyone, I focus on a relaxing space and careful consultation so you can let your shoulders drop. I stay close to those who feel anxious or worry about pain, and keep working until your lifelong piece feels right — shaping designs that bring out each person's individuality.

I value sincerity above all. I feel Japanese tattoo culture is at a major turning point, and I would be glad to build new values and culture together through tattooing. My specialty is small Japanese-style pieces that subtly weave in a sense of "wa." Even within a small design I express Japanese beauty and individuality, shaping each piece carefully for each person.

With the proposal skills honed at art school, I help shape even the images you can't quite put into words. Feel free to talk to me before your idea is fully formed! I treasure each person's character and worldview.

I aim to shape your ideal design through attentive counseling and careful work. I love anime, so I hope we can enjoy chatting during your session. Let's create a special tattoo together.

I put my heart into every session, working with you to shape a tattoo that becomes part of your life.

I specialize in elegant, delicate fine line and minimal designs. I also offer particle tattoos, which suit first-timers well. So that even first-timers can relax, I try to support each client on both the technical and the personal side.

I handle a wide range of work, from delicate designs to blackwork, neo-traditional, and neo-Japanese. I am a tattooist and, at the same time, an artist pursuing my own expression. Not bound by existing styles, I create one-of-a-kind pieces with a sensibility all my own. Leave it to me.

I create work centered on abstract expression such as blackwork and ink-wash painting, valuing the negative space and flow born from "black." I draw out the emotions and images that can't be put into words and carefully shape each tattoo to capture an atmosphere that is uniquely yours.
