"When one of my clients is truly happy with their tattoo artist, they will email me and rave about them - often sending me pictures of the final art which is always a treat for me. Some years ago I began collecting these heartfelt recommendations and this list is the result. Each tattoo artist here has personally inked one of my Japanese Kanji Tattoo designs and my client was so happy they just had to tell me about it. I hope you find this information useful and I hope this helps you in your search for the right tattoo artist." Eri Takase |
If you have had one of my designs inked and would like to recommend your tattoo artist please email me at Eri@Takase.com and let me know. Again, this list is only for tattoo artists who have inked one of my Japanese Kanji Tattoos and that have been specifically recommended by one of my clients.

"I had the 'Love' design tattooed on me with
the light grey washout symbol and then my name and my children's names set
around it in a triangle pattern in black. The artist--Sketch (aka Bryan
Spencer) was great. He used Kuro-Sumi ink for the tattoo, which is
completely safe, and absolutely perfect color. The piece is exquisite. I'd
recommend him to anyone who wanted clean lines and solid color. It's
beautiful."

Eri,
Thank you
for this personal email. That is very nice of you to care enough to
send this. I have attached two photos of the Kanji that I chose through
you website to adorn my body. I have owned and operated a Henna
Tattooing company here in Washington state for 9 years now and I am VERY
careful about having traditional ink tattoos done on my body. I love to
draw quotes, words, sayings & designs onto myself. But I must really
think long & hard about the ink tattoo before I'd ever have one done.
Luckily with henna I get to play with my ideas. In short I have wanted
this one tattoo done for a few years now and just needed to find the
right kanji. My family is actually very cultured in Japanese and my
grandfather has ran a Dojo here for over 50 years. So a Japanese style
tattoo seemed fitting as to show respect to not only my daughter but
also my family. Anyway thank you again for your help & I do plan to use
your website again for further henna tattooing too. |

Cornwall. A beautiful part of this country (you might look up Zennor,
