About TATTOO STUDIO Ray’s
We are a tattoo company that started out as a Kyoto Tattoo Studio and now has a Tokyo Tattoo Studio.
We place the following principles above all else: to provide high quality work with attention to detail.
This is what Ray’s believes in.
We at Ray’s are energised by the emotions that are created when people’s hearts are moved.
This is the driving force that will continue to push us into the future.
Tattooing is a special art with a great responsibility.
It requires a lot of perseverance, human strength and concentration to continue to master it.
All tattoo artists are constantly developing their skills to become professionals, and many times they may feel like they are going to lose heart. However, every time they see their customers’ heartfelt joy, the artist is also moved by the joy of the customer.
This is what drives them above all else.
This is how we maintain the high level of detail and quality at Ray’s. This is what drives us to keep evolving. Our tattoos are an inspiration, hope and change for your future.
“Changing society’s perception of tattoos through their beauty ” – Due to historical and cultural trends, there is still a lot of prejudice against tattoos in Japan. We at Ray’s have the power to fundamentally change the perception of tattoos and the prejudice against them. We have moved many hearts and minds from the negative to the positive.
‘To be honest, I thought I would never get a tattoo” – whenever I hear these words from my customers, I feel the possibility of change in the near future. Art, which holds beauty, has the power and potential to change people’s minds completely.
We at Ray’s are committed to creating art that has the power and potential to change people’s hearts and minds.
We at Ray’s are committed to further improving these possibilities and influences, and to making a big difference to people’s freedom of expression in the future.
Tattooing is a living artform.
We believe that a tattoo is a lifelong symbol.
We will design as many tattoos as necessary until each customer is satisfied,
Personally, I have had an unsatisfactory or regretful tattoo in the past and we don’t want anyone to have those bitter experiences.
We are committed to your needs and to creating a tattoo that will last a lifetime, with no regrets.
