Neo Traditional Tattoos
Neo-traditional tattoos take the bold foundation of traditional tattooing and push it further—more detail, more depth, and more personality. Thick, clean outlines meet rich shading and vibrant colours, creating a style that stands out while still feeling timeless. If you want a tattoo that’s bold, dynamic, and built to last, a neo-traditional tattoo is the way to go.
I specialize in custom neo-traditional tattoos, working with clients to create bold, high-impact designs that flow with the body and hold their shape over time. Whether it’s a fierce animal, a striking portrait, or a classic floral piece, I make sure every tattoo is packed with depth, movement, and character.
Neo Japanese Tattoos
Neo-Japanese tattoos take the timeless elegance of traditional Irezumi and push it further—more detail, richer colours, and a modern artistic edge. Rooted in centuries-old Japanese tattooing, this style combines bold composition, deep symbolism, and fluid movement to create large-scale, high-impact designs that tell a story.
A great Neo-Japanese tattoo isn’t just about the imagery—it’s about movement, balance, and how the design interacts with the body. Every element should flow seamlessly, creating a piece that looks natural and powerful from every angle. My approach focuses on strong composition, deep contrast, and precise detailing, ensuring that each tattoo has the depth and impact it deserves. Whether you’re looking for a full sleeve, back piece, or standalone design, I make sure your tattoo not only looks incredible on day one but ages beautifully over time.
