About me

Trained in Osaka under a traditional irezumi master, now mixing that heritage with bold blackwork and ornamental patterns. I love large pieces that follow the body's flow: sleeves, backs and chest panels.

Healed two years. Still the piece people ask about most.

    Two years healed and the blacks are still this solid.
