Irezumi ONLY
IREZUMI, also known as Horimono or Wabori, is a traditional Japanese style of tattooing that literally translates to 'insertion of black ink'. With our full respect to Japanese tattoo traditions, George works only in this style, which is slightly re-imagined according to modern technical and stylistic aspects.
Custom work only
George specializes in crafting custom designs that are unique to each customer, ensuring that no hieroglyphs or written text are included in our tattoos.Instead, we focus on creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces that speak to the individual's personality, interests, and style.
NO Copies
At our studio, we believe in creating unique and original tattoos that reflect our clients' individuality. We never copy existing designs and strictly prohibit replicating other people's tattoos. Instead, we use photos as inspiration to craft one-of-a-kind pieces that are tailored to our clients' preferences.
