CUSTOM TATTOOING / TORONTO & MONTREAL
Made for you. Carried by you.
I create custom tattoos rooted in traditional Japanese imagery and Eastern aesthetics. Working primarily in Toronto and Montreal, I also travel internationally for projects. Each piece begins with an exchange of ideas and develops around your intention, your body, and the possibilities of tattooing.
Freehand drawing is an essential part of every piece I create. During the appointment, I draw a substantial part of the design directly onto the skin, responding to your anatomy and the impressions that emerge through our conversations. This intuitive approach allows the composition to take shape around you, making every tattoo a unique and deeply personal work.
The custom tattoo process
01 / Share your idea
Tell me about the subject, feeling, or story you have in mind. Include your preferred placement, approximate size, and any reference images through the consultation form.
02 / Explore the direction
Through an in-person or online consultation, we’ll discuss your ideas, composition, and how the tattoo can work naturally with your body.
03 / Review your design
Your design will be shared within the week leading up to your tattoo appointment, giving us an opportunity to review it together and make adjustments to the finer details.

Frequently Asked Questions
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
How should I prepare?
Arrive rested, eat a meal beforehand, and bring water. Wear clean, comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being tattooed.
What if my skin is irritated or I feel unwell?
Let me know before your visit if the area is sunburned, cut, inflamed, or affected by a rash. We can discuss whether the appointment should be postponed.
Should I mention allergies, medication, or health concerns?
Please discuss anything that could affect tattooing or healing before the appointment, including reactions to inks or adhesives. Ask your healthcare professional about medical concerns; do not stop prescribed medication on your own.
DURING YOUR SESSION
Can I ask for a break?
Yes. Please speak up if you need a pause, feel lightheaded, or are uncomfortable. Keep still while tattooing is in progress and let me know before changing position.
Can I change small details of the design?
Your design is shared within the week before your appointment. We can review it together and make adjustments to the finer details.
AFTERCARE
How should I care for the tattoo?
Wash your hands before touching it. Follow your individual cleaning and moisturising instructions, dry gently, and do not scratch or pick at peeling skin or scabs. Use only the products recommended for your aftercare.
What should I avoid while it heals?
Avoid swimming, soaking, direct sun, and clothing that rubs the area. Adapt exercise to avoid friction or irritation, and follow the guidance given for your tattoo before returning to your usual routine.
What if I am concerned about healing?
Seek prompt medical advice for increasing or spreading redness, warmth, swelling, worsening pain, pus, or fever. Trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat requires emergency care. You can also contact me with routine aftercare questions, but do not wait for my reply if you suspect infection or a serious reaction.
This is general guidance. Follow the individual aftercare instructions given for your tattoo and seek medical advice when needed.
