"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

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."
