How do I book a tattoo appointment?
To book a tattoo appointment, you can reach out to me through my booking page or directly via Instagram. Please let me know your ideas, preferred dates, and include references. Once we settle the details, I’ll confirm the appointment with you.
What kind of tattoos do you specialize in?
I love working with black ink, intricate linework, magical themes, and storytelling-inspired designs. My flash tattoos are often inspired by the worlds I create in my stories, especially the Haunted Tea House. If you’re into nature, fantasy, folklore, or tea-related designs, we’ll be a great fit!
Do you offer custom tattoo designs?
Yes! I’m open to custom tattoo requests. Whether you’re inspired by my flash tattoos or have an idea of your own, I’d love to collaborate with you to create something unique. Just mention your ideas when you fill out the tattoo booking form, and we’ll work together from there.
Where are you located?
I currently tattoo in Tokyo nor far away from Harajuku! If you’re not local, I occasionally travel for guest spots and conventions, so keep an eye on my newsletter or Instagram for updates!
How much do tattoos cost?
The cost of your tattoo will depend on the size, detail, and placement. Custom pieces may vary in price based on complexity. For flash tattoos, I’ll share the pricing during the booking process. If you’d like a price estimate, feel free to ask when you fill out the tattoo booking form!
How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Before your appointment, make sure to:
Eat a good meal beforehand and stay hydrated.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area you want tattooed.
Bring your ID (you must be 18+ to get tattooed).

1. Keep the film on for at least 2-4 hours (unless I tell you otherwise).
In case of second skin, you can keep it up to 3 days.
2. Wash your hands before removing the bandage, then gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, unscented soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
3. Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free tattoo ointment or healing balm. Avoid using too much!
4. For the first few days, clean and moisturize the tattoo twice a day. After that, you can switch to a lighter unscented lotion.
5. Avoid soaking your tattoo in water (baths, pools, hot tubs) until it’s fully healed. Showers are fine, but don’t let the tattoo sit under direct water for too long.
6. Avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds while your tattoo heals. Even after healing, always protect your tattoo with sunscreen to keep it looking fresh!
7. Expect some peeling and light scabbing—that’s normal! Just don’t pick at it; let the skin heal naturally.
8. Wear loose clothing over the tattoo to avoid irritation.
9. If you notice anything unusual like redness, swelling, or excessive pain, reach out to me immediately.
Your tattoo should be fully healed in about 2-4 weeks, depending on the size and placement. If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Can I use your flash tattoo designs for a tattoo elsewhere?
No. My flash designs are meant to be one-of-a-kind, so if you’d like to get one tattooed, I ask that you book with me directly. This helps me preserve the uniqueness of each design. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in a flash piece!
