Japanese is one of the most tradition-rich tattoo styles of all. Dragon, koi, cherry blossom or waves — every motif carries its own meaning. For centuries there have been firm rules for which elements harmonise, in which direction they flow and how they unfold across the body. A successful Japanese tattoo is therefore rarely just a single motif, but a well-thought-out composition that works perfectly with the body.
Because this style demands a lot of experience, understanding and respect for the traditional design, we've deliberately brought reinforcement into the team. Alina is our regular guest artist and is with us at our tattoo studio in Hamburg several times a year for two to three weeks at a time. During that time she devotes herself exclusively to authentic Japanese tattoos and brings her many years of experience to this special style.
We tattoo in Hamburg-Borgfelde, a few minutes from the main station.
Think in compositions, not just single motifs. Japanese tattoos reach their full effect when all the elements play together harmoniously and follow the flow of the body. The result is a piece of art that impresses from every angle.
Take your time with the design. Planning is an important part of this style. Together we develop a composition that fits your body perfectly and keeps its effect long-term.
Ask about an appointment early. Since Alina is with us as a guest artist for a few weeks several times a year, it's worth enquiring early. That way we can schedule you in good time and prepare your project together.
