Selected tattoo projects, shown through complete compositions and considered details.

Japanese Tattooing

Samurai on Horseback — Full Back Piece

A full-back composition bringing together the visual language of traditional Japanese painting and the refined detail of contemporary realism. The samurai and horse unite expressive movement with carefully rendered armour, anatomy and depth.

Oriental Landscape — Full Back Piece

An expansive Oriental landscape composed to give the full back a powerful sense of scale and presence. Flowing mountains, mist and pine trees create a unified rhythm, while intricate details evoke the quiet elegance and timeless character of classical ink painting.

Traditional Irezumi — Dragon Sleeve

A dragon sleeve rooted in the old-school traditions of Japanese tattooing. The focus is on clean, even shading: smooth tonal transitions and consistently worked areas of ink give the dragon, clouds and background a clear, cohesive finish.

Xuanwu — Full Back Irezumi on Dark Skin

A full-back interpretation of Xuanwu, exploring soft tonal transitions and delicate shading on very dark skin. Carefully balanced contrast and considered detail are central to the piece, with an emphasis on keeping the imagery clear and readable once healed.
