Hey there, I'm Makoto!  Originally from the Bay Area, I've spent 8 years on the East Coast going to the Maryland Institute College of Art before diving headfirst into the tattoo industry where I developed my style/love for making custom tattoo designs that are personal, dark, and beautiful. Now, I'm so psyched to return to the Bay, where I can't wait to work with people from all walks of life by helping them conjure and commit to skin the masterpieces they have contained within their mind!

I love working on all types of projects in styles ranging from realism to illustrative, especially pet portraits,  animals,flowers/foliage, vibrant fruits, intricate stylized insects, macabre designs, neo traditional portraits, dark fanart/tribute tattoos, and anything that's enchanting, full of personality, and perhaps just a bit edgy.
Outside of tattooing, I'm constantly pursuing my passions as a vocal coach, hiking and spending time outdoors, or curling up at home with a drawing, a horror movie, and my cat, Mormo:)
