Custom designed large-scale Japanese tattoos, designed through consultation and completed over multiple sessions with a focus on flow, composition, and longevity.
Large-scale work typically includes sleeves, backpieces, bodysuits, or major compositions that flow across a significant portion of the body. These are designed as cohesive, long-term projects rather than individual tattoos.
Japanese tattooing is one of the most refined styles for large-scale work. It’s built around flow, movement, and how the design interacts with the body — resulting in a timeless, balanced composition that ages well.
The process begins with a consultation where we:
Discuss your ideas and direction
Plan the overall composition and body flow
Map out sessions and timeline
From there, we move into scheduled tattoo sessions, typically spaced a few weeks apart.
This depends on the size, detail, and placement.
As a rough guide:
Sleeve: 5–8 sessions
Backpiece: 8–12+ sessions
Each project is different, and I’ll give you a clearer estimate during your consultation.
Most sessions are full-day appointments. This allows us to make solid progress and maintain consistency across the piece.
Large-scale work is priced per session.
Final cost depends on:
Size and complexity
Number of sessions required
A full project is an investment and is best approached with a long-term mindset.
