The hand.

Starting his tattooing journey in 2019, Kevin has dedicated himself to the study and preservation of traditional Japanese tattooing, immersing himself in the history, techniques, and principles behind the art form. To further his commitment to mastering the craft, Kevin travelled to Japan, where he spent a year studying under respected Japanese tattoo artists and gaining a deeper understanding of traditional methods, symbolism, and the discipline behind Japanese tattooing.

Kevin’s passion and admiration for Japanese art is reflected in every piece he creates, with each design showcasing his appreciation for balance, storytelling, and the intricate details that define traditional Japanese tattooing. His work represents a dedication to honouring the roots of the art form while continuing to develop his own unique expression within it.
