Profile ─About Ryoki─
Hi! I'm Ryoki a female tattoo artist from Osaka, Japan.
I'm a self-taught tattoo artist.
I've been in this business since 1999
and have had my own studio,'Al-Haut' since July 2001.
It's located in a trendy area for young people in Osaka called "American villege", in Shinsaibashi.
'Al-Haut' is named after Piseces in the Arabic horoscope. I hope to appeal to people with this mysterious,exotic name.
(By the way, I'm a Pisces!!)
Basically, I have a distinctive style of tattooing called 'Fine-Line',
which uses an illustrative technique. The outlines are not as bold and the overall impression is more like a water-colour painting.
'Fine-Line' technique is most suitable for sensitive detailed subjects. I draw on nature for my inspiration and specialize in flowers and birds!
I’ve been told that my tattoos have a delicate and sensitive touch.
My second style has been influenced by my studies of the ancient cultures of the Orient and middle east at University.
It is a fusion of mysticism and mythology.
This fantasy style is also popluar with many clients.
I like to use 'Fine-line' for these images, too
[Ryoki's original works]
I accept clients only by appointment.
My clients are very important to me and I have many regulars.
Before doing any tattooing work, I have a consultation session with them to ensure that they get exactly the tattoo they want.
