Styles

• American Traditional
• Japanese Traditional
• Lettering
• Black & Gray
• Color
• Realism

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.

Career

From: Yamanashi

• Studied occupational therapy at university (left to pursue art)
• —Apprenticeship at a Tokyo tattoo studio
• —INKLY

I was studying occupational therapy at university, but left to chase my dream of making art. After apprenticing at a Tokyo tattoo studio, I arrived where I am now.

Styles

• Black & Gray
• Lettering
• Minimal
• Tribal
• Floral
• Realism

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.

Career

I studied painting at Musashino Art University before joining INKLY. Alongside oil painting and drawing, tattooing became another form of self-expression for me.

Styles

• Fine Line
• Minimal
• Lettering
• Color

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.

Career

• —Paramedical (artmake) nurse
• —Tattoo studies in London
• —INKLY

I worked as a nurse in neurosurgery and aesthetic dermatology, moved on to paramedical (artmake) nursing, and then studied tattooing in London. My knowledge of the skin — and my own experience of tattoo removal — informs how I guide clients on safety and aftercare.

Styles

• Fine Line
• Minimal
• Lettering
• Floral

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 worked in healthcare as a physical therapist (PT) before turning to tattooing.

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.

Career

From: Aichi

• Nurse, acute-care ward, Shonan Kamakura General Hospital (Tokushukai)
• —INKLY

I worked as a nurse on an acute-care ward at Shonan Kamakura General Hospital (Tokushukai), while also exhibiting paintings and showing work at art events — continuing in both nursing and art.

Styles

• Cartoon
• Pop
• Small Realism

I bring the expressive skills developed through art into my tattooing. From pop, playful designs to cartoon and anime characters and small realism, I propose designs that reflect each person's individuality and story. Drawing on my knowledge and experience as a nurse, I also pay close attention to safety and hygiene so that even first-timers can feel at ease. I craft each piece carefully, aiming to deliver a tattoo you will love for years to come.
