I’m a Vancouver-based tattoo artist originally from Tokyo, specializing in Japanese, neo-traditional, and illustrative styles.
My work focuses on clean line work and bold compositions, creating custom designs that reflect each client’s story. I draw inspiration from traditional Japanese motifs as well as contemporary illustration, aiming to create pieces that feel both timeless and personal.
I began my journey through illustration before transitioning into tattooing, where I found a deeper connection in collaborating with clients and bringing meaningful ideas to life on skin.
Before starting any project, I always take the time to consult with each client to discuss ideas in detail and answer any questions, ensuring we move forward with clarity and confidence.
I value clear communication and mutual trust throughout the process, ensuring that each piece feels intentional and personal—whether it’s a small design or a larger custom project.
