ALIEN TATTOO KOBE / Ki

When it comes to design, I prioritize whether it matches the individual's aura. Rather than just creating a beautiful picture, I am very conscious of 'how it will look on the person's body'. Based on Japanese traditional (wabori), I create designs that blend a dark atmosphere, delicate lines, and a subtle sense of unease, ensuring they don't become overly trendy. For me, the ideal state is one where conflicting elements coexist, such as 'beautiful yet slightly eerie' and 'raw yet delicate'. Motifs are not just arranged; they are composed considering negative space, flow, and how they integrate with the body. Therefore, even with the same motif, I significantly vary the , atmosphere, and balance depending on the person. Since tattoos are permanent, I aim for something that can exist naturally for many years, rather than just following momentary trends.

I originally started tattooing in a largely self-taught manner, constantly drawing, tattooing myself, and experimenting every day. I've been particularly meticulous about lines and atmosphere, continuously researching a 'hand-drawn feel that isn't overly polished' and how it appears on the skin. Rather than starting with a conventional path, I've developed my own style, drawing inspiration from dark art, blackwork, and slightly eerie expressions, all while basing it on Japanese traditional (wabori). Thankfully, through social media, I've gradually started to receive clients from overseas and distant locations, and now I'm getting more orders for large-scale works and projects where clients entrust me with the entire worldview. Recently, I opened a new studio near Itayado Station, and I'm now focusing on creating a 'tattoo that remains as an experience,' including the space design and presentation of the artwork. I'm still on my journey, but I want to continue creating lasting styles rather than just chasing trends.

I believe that entrusting me with a tattoo is not just about getting a picture, but about entrusting me with a part of your life. That's why I value ensuring that clients feel 'it was good to get tattooed here,' encompassing not just the design, but also the atmosphere, the time spent, and the overall experience of the day. Whether you're getting your first tattoo or have been enjoying tattoos for a long time, I hope to work closely with you through consultation to create a design that suits you. Rather than simply tracing trends, I create pieces that will naturally blend with your body years down the line. Each piece is crafted without compromise. To those who come from afar, and to those who always entrust me with their tattoos, thank you very much. Moving forward, I will continue to pursue an atmosphere and style that only I can create.
