ABIRU NAGANOBU
For me, tattooing is not just a craft—
it’s an art form that captures identity, emotion, and a moment in time.
My name is Abiru.
I'm a tattoo artist based in Tokyo,
specializing in black and gray Chicano-style tattoos.
The process of tattooing has also been a journey of discovering who I am.
Through that journey, my perspective and style naturally took shape,
forming the unique body of work I create today.
I approach every piece not just as an image, but as a story—
a reflection of the individual behind it.
With every project, I aim to design something truly one-of-a-kind,
a piece that blends the client’s personal mood with my own interpretation.
The more challenging the theme, the more inspiration it gives me.
Whatever the subject may be, I take the time to understand its meaning deeply,
and transform it through my own artistic lens.
I believe every piece has the potential to become a true work of art.
Thank you for visiting this page.
If my work resonates with you,
I would be honored to help bring your story to life—through ink.
