The first time I got in touch with Japanese tattooing was at the early age of ten years old during a family bus trip.

I still recall: "It was magical and intriguing to see that Japanese-style dragon tattoo on the arm of the man sitting next to me. Without knowing it at the time, Japanese tattoos had captivated me forever.

With over 30 years of career experience, my worldwide travels have exposed me to various tattooing styles, enriching my craft and deepening my understanding of this ancient art form.

Currently, I focus on larger scale Japanese tattoos, executed using both tattoo machine "wabori" and traditional hand-poke "tebori" techniques.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my passion with others, and I strive to honor the tradition of Japanese tattooing in every piece I create.
