Since i started tattooing, I’ve tattooed every style that’s currently in the tattooing world. I was doing Japanese, black an grey, fine line, colour and script each day. I realized overtime, The style and passion I had for the Japanese style always made me more hungry to learn about it.

I’ve travelled around Asia a lot recently to learn and absorb as much culture as I can, and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. Japanese tattooing keeps me hungry for knowledge by learning the techniques which makes the style so beautiful and timeless.

Having family ancestry from and many opportunities to travel Hong Kong, I’ve always had an appreciation for Oritental art. I love the finer details displayed in Chinese, Japanese and Korean paintings and prints. I like to bring this into my tattooing, with a strong focus on traditional elements and motifs, mixed the delicacy of early oriental art. 

I’ve been tattooing with Joe at San Sakura since 2022. Through my journey here, I’ve studied everything Irezumi and Japanese, from the free flow of the backgrounds, to the history and mythology of the motifs, as well as having the freedom and support to find my own personal style within the industry, and i’m very excited to continue my journey in tattooing and continuing to learn and create.

I began my journey in tattooing two years ago, and have been working professionally at San Sakura for the past year. I specialise in black and grey, realism, anime and manga, while also enjoying working across a wider range of styles such as fineline, Japanese, blackwork and colour.

Art and creativity has been a huge part of my life for as long as i can remember. I believe every tattoo should tell a story, whether it holds a deep personal meaning, or something that simply brings joy to your everyday life. With a strong background in illustration and the visual arts, I see skin as a living canvas where art becomes part of person’s identity.

My work draws inspiration from Japanese culture, Anime, nature, diaspora, and a whole range of artistic influences. My goal is to create thoughtful, timeless tattoos that feel personal, meaningful and uniquely connected to the people who wear them.
