A Proven Track Record
“When I started Irezumi in 2006, I wanted to change how people experienced tattooing. Studios didn’t have to feel intimidating, they could be welcoming, professional and built on trust. That’s why we’ve always focused on world-class hygiene, continuous learning and sharing knowledge with artists from around the world. Twenty years later, those values continue to define every Irezumi studio.”
– Naveen Kumar (Founder, Irezumi Tattoo Studio)
