For a Tattoo
You'll Never Regret.

A tattoo is more than just ink—it is a lifelong symbol, a work of art born from the bond between the client and the tattoo artist. We are committed to sincerely understanding each client's vision and, with a professional perspective and precise guidance, carefully harmonizing ideas to create a timeless piece. We approach every session with unwavering commitment and the strongest dedication to bring your vision to life.

    We strictly refuse entry or services to individuals who fall under the following categories.

Silver Accessories

These exclusive pieces are the work of Daniel, a former Busshi (Master Buddhist Sculptor) who honed his world-class technique in Japan. Each item is meticulously designed and individually sculpted by him, whether carved as a prototype or finished entirely by hand.

Community Impact & Social Initiatives

SDCP (Save the Dogs and Cats Project) is a social initiative by Ray's aimed at reducing the euthanasia of dogs and cats.

The project was inspired by owner Daniel Ray's encounter with the studio's mascot, Mona. This deep connection with animals sparked a mission: to reduce the number of suffering pets and to determine what contribution a tattoo studio could make to society.

Since April 2018, Ray's has continually donated 100 yen from the revenue of every tattoo session.

As the proverb states, "Every little bit helps"—we firmly believe that continued, small-scale support can save lives, and we are committed to continuing this mission.

FAQs

  • Can I get a tattoo today (walk-in appointment)?

    Our studio is by appointment only, but we may be able to accommodate you if there is room in the schedule.

    • Design consultations also require an appointment.
    • Please note that we do not have any brochures or books of artwork available for viewing at our studio. To view our artists’ work and available styles, please visit our Tattoo MenuandArtists page.
  • I live far away and it is difficult for me to visit for a consultation beforehand. Is it possible to have a design made ahead of time?

    Yes, it is possible.
    In this case, we ask that you make a deposit as part of the tattoo cost in advance. Once we confirm your payment, we will create the design.

    • Please note that the deposit is non-refundable once the design process has begun, even if the appointment is later canceled.
    • After the design has been created, any major revisions requested by the client will incur an additional fee.
  • Do you accept credit cards?

    Yes, we accept all major credit cards.

  • I don't know what to expect after the procedure or how to take care of myself afterwards.

    After the tattoo is cleaned, disinfected and sterilized, a special protective sheet is applied. In addition, showering and bathing should be avoided on the day of tattoo session. For other precautions and aftercare, please see more information on our aftercare page.

  • I am pregnant, can I still get a tattoo?

    Tattooing is very hard on the body, so we do not perform the procedure on pregnant women or those suspected of being pregnant.
