TATTOO 1825 Osaka Japan

TATTOO 1825 is a private, appointment-only tattoo studio in Osaka, Japan, run by tattoo artist Kimihito. The studio was originally opened in Osaka in 2010, before relocating to Amsterdam in 2016, where the artist gained international experience through tattoo conventions and guest spots across the United States and Europe. After closing the Amsterdam location, operations resumed in Osaka starting October 2024, bringing that global experience back to a dedicated home studio in the city's Chuo ward.

The studio's work centers on Japanese-style tattooing, with a particular focus on sumi-e ink wash-inspired designs, while also accommodating all tattoo genres and custom requests. Being fully private and reservation-based, sessions are conducted one-on-one, allowing for personalized consultations on design and placement. International clients are welcomed, with service available in English alongside inquiries and bookings handled through direct contact. The gallery of completed tattoos reflects large-scale, detailed pieces including full-back designs, showcasing a strong command of traditional Japanese imagery rendered with a refined, painterly sensibility.
