Kanji Tattoo design
Find a meaningful and aesthetic Kanji for your tatoo.
Our Approach
Tattoo is a mean of expression for those who are artist at heart. It should be meaningful and should have a deep connection to you. Kanjis are beautiful. But it's hard to find the "right" one as you need to take into account various factors such as which character to use, what other meaninings does it have, aesthetics of the characters, and so on. We are a team of Japanese Kanji Experts and a Mexican Creative Director, formed with a love for the Japanese culture and tattoo. Each member has 5-10+ years of experience living outside of Japan. We fully understands the connotations and “vibe” of what is appropriate, cool, and worth the ink. We can find the best Kanji for you next tattoo.
What is Kotodama?
“Kotodama - 言霊 - ”. It means “the spirit of language” in Japanese. It refers to the Japanese belief that mystical powers dwell in words and name. What you say becomes who you are. Tattoos are more than an ink, it’s spirits that are engraved to show who you are and will be.
