The intent of designing a traditional Japanese tattoo studio is to create a serene and culturally immersive environment that honors the rich heritage of Irezumi. The studio will feature authentic Japanese elements such as shoji screens, and Ukiyo-e art, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort.The space will be meticulously organized to ensure a hygienic and professional setting, while also providing a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere for clients and artists to engage in the timeless art of Japanese tattooing. Wooden elements are used extensively for flooring, wall paneling, and custom furniture, providing warmth and grounding the studio in the natural textures reminiscent of traditional Japanese interiors. Non-tear washi paper is incorporated into sliding shoji screens, partition panels, and light fixtures, offering both durability and the delicate translucency characteristic of traditional Japanese design. The spatial layout employs semi-private zones defined by washi and wood partitions, inspired by the asymmetry and layering techniques of Ukiyo-e compositions, creating a flow that is both functional and visually dynamic.
