Prices

The estimated cost for one session is approximately ¥30,000-¥50,000.

About

All work is done by hand-drawn tebori (hand-poked). I also make an effort to use non-mass-produced needles and inks. Based in Osaka, I visit Tokyo once a month, and spend approximately 20% of the year somewhere overseas.

Concept

I pursue simple and minimalist designs, striving for lines that feel natural to anyone who sees them. I dedicate myself to incorporating hints and insights gained from various experiences during my travels both domestically and internationally into my designs.

History

I majored in oil painting at an art school, and while continuously exhibiting my work at galleries, museums, and art fairs both in Japan and abroad, I also actively participate in guest work and conventions in the tattoo scene, traveling annually to Asian regions such as India, Nepal, and Thailand, as well as European regions centered around Berlin.

Message

To cherish the time spent with clients who pay a significant fee, my studio accepts only one booking per day.
