Founded in 2016, Shades of Blak Studios emerged from a deep passion for traditional Japanese tattooing, along with drawing and painting. Our founder, a skilled painter and illustrator with over 10 years of experience, aimed to create a studio that not only celebrates quality and creativity but also serves as a hub for those seeking anime tattoo ideas and authentic Japanese tattoos, all while adhering to higher medical standards.
At Shades of Blak Studios, we believe that every tattoo should be a work of art, whether it's inspired by anime tattoo ideas or traditional Japanese tattooing. That's why we work closely with our clients to understand their vision and create custom designs that exceed their expectations, including stunning Japanese tattoos.
Over the years, Shades of Blak Studios has received numerous awards for our exceptional work, particularly in the realm of traditional Japanese tattooing. We have been recognized for our creativity, attention to detail, and commitment to safety. Our work, including unique anime tattoo ideas, has been published by Gordon Toi (Author of Dedicated by Blood), World of Pencils, Fox News 40, Digital Journal, and Michigan University.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours to explore some amazing anime tattoo ideas or discuss traditional Japanese tattooing and its rich history.
