What we tattoo
Irezumi-inspired
Flowing Japanese motifs. Panels, sleeves and back pieces built across sessions.
Blackwork
Solid black, dotwork and ornamental geometry with strong contrast that ages well.
Botanical
Blossoms, branches and leaves drawn with the softness of a brush.
04 — The Name
Ukiyo — the floating world
Ukiyo (浮世) is the Edo-period ideal of living fully in the moment, surrounded by beauty that knows it won’t last.
A tattoo is the beautiful contradiction: a fleeting moment, made permanent. That is the idea behind every piece we make.
