For those more interested in the beautifully occult, you can commission husband and wife tattooists Aletheia and Dykk can provide you interesting inks. Though you can get one done from them individually, they also collaborations with each other and it always comes out better than you’d ever imagine!
The Mark of Warriors
If you want to keep up with the hand-tapped tattoo trend, Jonathan and Jean are the artists for you. John believes that these designs are connected to our identity; and when you tattoo your culture onto you, you never forget your roots.

Paying tribute to the iconic Japanese Ukiyo-e, Kiyo plays around with reds and blacks to create pieces that look like they’re straight out of Tale of Genji.
