Neo-Japanese tattoos

I’m Nicklas Wong, a tattoo artist at The Black Mark in Northcote, Melbourne. My neo-Japanese work brings together Japanese subjects, bold colour and flowing backgrounds, from smaller pieces to sleeves and full backpieces.

Have a look through my Japanese tattoos below. If you’ve got an idea, send through a few references and let me know the placement and size you have in mind. We can talk through the design and take it from there.
