Include your departure date when you write. Scheduling and aftercare planning depend on how long you are in Tokyo, and we think it through with you rather than giving one blanket answer.

Sessions take place in a calm, fully private room with experienced Japanese artists, and booking, consultation, and aftercare all work in English.
Tattoo styles
Choose the right level of detail for your trip
A style label is the start of the brief, not the whole brief. The artist also needs the subject, dimensions, placement, color direction, and available appointment time.
Japanese tattoo
Machine tattooing for one-point Japanese motifs, neo-Japanese work, and larger irezumi-inspired compositions. Evis Ink does not offer tebori.

Public artist roster
Meet artists before you book
Artist profiles use the public studio roster. Choose a specific artist when the specialty matches, or ask the studio to help match your reference.
Manato / マナト
I work in a wide range of styles, from traditional to black & gray, lettering, and color. I love chatting with clients — though of course I'll match your pace. With my height and my many self-poked tattoos I may seem hard to approach at first, but I'm really just a tattoo-loving chatterbox, so let's get along. From classic styles to anything else, I'll keep working until you have a tattoo you're truly happy with.

Leo / リオ
I specialize in delicate, soft designs centered on fine line work. I value sharing accurate knowledge from a medical perspective, and I put as much care into a safe, reassuring experience as into the design itself. In counseling I aim for a relaxed atmosphere that's easy to talk in. I explain every concern carefully so even first-timers can feel at ease, offering tattooing that stays close to each person.

Milan / ミラン
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.
Meet Milan →
Hiko / 彦
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.
Meet Hiko →
Miyu / ミユウ
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.
Meet Miyu →
Hibiki / ヒビキ
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.

Four steps from idea to appointment
1. Send the brief
Share references, intended dimensions, placement, style, and every date you could visit.
2. Choose artist and size
Use the profiles and price guide, or ask for a match when you are unsure.
3. Reserve the appointment
Select an available date online. Fixed travel dates should be booked before arriving in Tokyo.
4. Arrive prepared
Bring valid photo ID, eat beforehand, avoid alcohol, and wear clothing that gives access to the placement.
Travel aftercare
Put water, sun, and friction before the tattoo
Onsen and swimming
Schedule onsen, pools, beaches, and sauna before the appointment, not while the tattoo is fresh.
Tokyo summer
Avoid direct sun and heavy sweating. Follow the covering, cleaning, and moisturizing instructions from the artist.
Luggage and clothing
Avoid a backpack strap, tight waistband, or shoe rubbing directly over the new tattoo.
Guest reviews
International guests describe the experience
“I ended up deciding to get a tattoo the day before I left and not only were they able to fit me in, they also were able to get the design that I wanted done. Session lasted a few hours & they made sure I was comfortable & satisfied the entire time. I'll remember this forever, thank you!”

We had a group of 4 people and they were able to accommodate us! Pricing was very reasonable and the artists are GREAT! 10/10 experience!”
Kerri R., Google Maps review
“Great staff. Everyone was very welcoming and even helped with proper translation of our tattoos. Tattoo was done perfectly and I love it. I would recommend them to anyone!”
Wade H., Google Maps review
“Staff were extremely nice and patient with me — I didn't speak Japanese and it was my first ever tattoo. I believe the quality is great and no regrets at all. Next time I get another tattoo, definitely coming back here.”
