About Us
Studio Sashiko was born out of a passion for bridging art and tattoos with high fashion and design. We take pride in the meticulous and detailed process of tattooing by hand; taking cues from high fashion for creating new brow trends, and finding every day inspiration in unique face shapes and features.
Founded in 2015 by industry veterans and Co-Owners, Shaughnessy and Kyle Otsuji, Studio Sashiko has grown to achieve a name for itself around the globe. Recognized for creating hyper-realistic results and an all-inclusive approach to cosmetic and restorative tattooing, Studio Sashiko provides a welcome space for clients to express themselves and artists to work in.
