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.

Owl, second session

Halfway through the owl. Feathers next week, then the eyes to finish.

    Saving the eyes for last, the right call.
