Onizuka Tattoo is a Japanese tattoo studio based in Gardena, California, in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. The studio is dedicated to traditional Japanese tattooing, specializing in irezumi, full sleeves, full back pieces, and body suits, along with hand-poked traditional work. Three artists work daily out of the studio, Jiro, Hori Taka, and Hori Chuy, each bringing decades of experience to their craft. The team also includes guest artist Clay Decker. Their focus stays rooted in authentic, custom Japanese tattoo artistry, from koi fish and dragons to cherry blossom motifs and other classic traditional imagery.
Operating as a private, appointment-only studio, Onizuka Tattoo offers a focused, personalized setting for clients pursuing serious custom work rather than walk-in tattoos. Prospective clients are asked to submit an appointment request form outlining their tattoo ideas, and the studio responds directly to arrange consultations. The shop also maintains an online store and an active social media presence, sharing examples of the artists' large-scale Japanese traditional pieces. With a clear commitment to preserving and advancing traditional Japanese tattoo artistry in the West, the studio has built its reputation on daily dedication to the craft within its Gardena location.
