‘Japanese tattoo’ is one of the most popular style in modern tattooing. Being looking quite illustrative, it’s traditionally deeply symbolical. Every element of Japanese tattoo design has it’s particular meaning and purpose. In order to understand the design meaning, it is essential to understand the history and background of Japanese culture itself. If you want your tattoo done in Japanese style but confused by it’s symbolics, please schedule your consultation, and I’ll definitely help to choose right design elements!
Before scheduling your consultation, please make sure that: You have collected reference images which clearly illustrate your tattoo idea and you are able to provide them(in digital) for detailed discussion during your consultation appointment.
Please note: Photos of someone else’s tattoos can be only used as examples. ABSOLUTELY NO copying of other peoples tattoos or parts of tattoos!

Even though in my work I’m highly concentrated on Japanese style, I still like to work in few different styles represented in this gallery. I love to do ‘realistic tattoo’ and ‘illustrative tattoo’ styles but never do letterings or ‘watercolor’.
