III · The hands
Three resident artists, one shared standard: custom work only, calm chairs, and time to get the drawing right before the needle touches skin.
Irezumi
Osaka · resident since 2018
Ren trained under a tebori master in Osaka before moving to Gothenburg. Large backs, dragons and mythic figures are his language — always built around how the body bends and ages. He works in long sittings and prefers projects that unfold over several sessions.

Fine line
Stockholm · resident since 2020
Aya moved from illustration to tattooing and kept the same pencil-light touch. Botanicals, single needles and quiet script — pieces that sit close to the skin without shouting. She is the one to see for ribs, wrists and first tattoos that need to stay elegant in ten years.

Blackwork
Berlin · resident since 2019
Mika comes from graphic design and treats black ink like composition: weight, negative space, and contrast. Solid sleeves, ornamental geometry and cover-up planning — always with a focus on how black heals and settles over time.
