Japanese Tattoo in Tokyo
Traditional irezumi and contemporary Japanese motifs — dragons, koi, hannya, peonies, and waves — drawn as custom one-of-a-kind work in our Ueno studio.
What is a Japanese-style tattoo?
Japanese tattooing (irezumi / wabori) is built on bold outlines, flowing backgrounds, and iconic motifs rooted in centuries of Japanese art. Each design carries meaning — strength, protection, transformation — and is composed to follow the body.
At Evis Ink Tokyo we tattoo both classic wabori and modern Japanese-inspired pieces, from a small one-point motif to larger flowing compositions, fully customised to you.
