『and TATTOO』タトゥースタジオ堺

and TATTOO is a private tattoo studio in Sakai, Japan, working across a wide range of styles from traditional Japanese wabori to Western-style tattoos, along with one-point designs and lettering work. Every piece is created as a fully original design, developed through thorough consultation with each client before any needlework begins. During the initial meeting, the design, placement, and size are worked out together, with clients encouraged to ask questions and share requests freely. Once the details are settled, a booking date is arranged and a preliminary sketch is prepared and reviewed with the client in advance of the session.

Operating on a fully appointment-based system, the studio is known for its careful, unhurried consultations and attentive tattooing process, which has earned it a strong base of repeat clients. As a private studio, it offers a comfortable, low-pressure environment where female clients in particular feel at ease. Hygiene is treated with strict discipline: needles, ink caps, gloves, and any tools that may contact skin or blood are single-use, work surfaces are wiped down with ethanol between sessions, and reusable equipment is sterilized using an autoclave, ultrasonic cleaner, and UV steri­lizer. Free consultations are available for anyone simply curious about getting tattooed.
