Looking for unique/unconventional/avant-garde Tatto Artists in Tokyo

April 22, 2024 3:41 PM

I'm visiting Tokyo for the first time this summer and I'd like to look into the possibility of getting a tattoo while I'm there. I'll be near Shinjuku and Shibuya but I'm willing to take a train ride for the right opportunity.

I don't have anything against photorealism, fine line, American traditional, irezumi, etc. but unless they're doing something really special with it, that's not what I'm looking for right now.

For my purposes, naive styles also apply. If there's an artist that is getting hype that you think is awful, then they may be exactly what I'm looking for :)

For reference, a few artists I currently like. Wildly different styles from these encouraged:

Julian Llouve
PittaKKM (name??)
Ithan Gibla

Thanks in advance!

I am so sad there are no answers yet! Have you considered just going to Seoul instead and getting a handpoke from zzizziboy (@zzizziboy on insta)? Bookings are open :)
