Japanese Style Tattoos on the Costa del Sol

Daruma, chrysanthemums and traditional oriental motifs adapted to your idea and your skin.

Traditional Japanese style has a rich symbolic language — daruma, chrysanthemums, waves, floral motifs — and I like working with it while respecting that base and adapting it to what you want to say. I pay a lot of attention to composition so the piece follows the shape of the body, and to line contrast so it ages well over the years. If you have a specific motif or meaning in mind, we can talk through which traditional elements could represent it.

Questions about Japanese style tattoos

Does it need to be a large piece?

Not necessarily, although traditional Japanese style tends to look best with a bit more surface so the details do not get lost. We will look at this in the consultation.

Can I combine Japanese motifs with another style?

Yes, it is common to mix it with illustrative or fine line. What matters is that the final composition makes sense.
