Drawing from irezumi traditions and blending them with an illustrative approach — bold lines, dynamic flow, and timeless subject matter.
Japanese tattooing has been one of the biggest influences on my work. The discipline, the flow, the symbolism — it's a tradition that demands respect and rewards study. I bring these elements into my illustrative approach while adding my own contemporary interpretation.

Japanese tattooing is built on principles that produce tattoos designed to last — bold lines, dynamic flow, and compositions that work with the body's natural shape. I apply these principles while bringing a contemporary illustrative energy to the work.

Japanese tattooing uses colour strategically — to create depth, guide the eye, and establish visual hierarchy. Whether it's the saturated reds of a hannya mask or the subtle gradients of a chrysanthemum, every colour choice serves the design.

While rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics, my work often blends in neo-traditional, illustrative, and comic book influences. The result is something that honours the source material while feeling fresh and personal.
Symbols of power, wisdom, and protection. Large-scale pieces that wrap and flow with the body's natural contours.
Chrysanthemums, peonies, cherry blossoms, koi, tigers, and more — each carrying its own meaning and visual language.
Hannya, oni, samurai, and mythological figures — dramatic subjects with rich storytelling potential.
