Tattoo Artist Rhys

Rhys Sharp

Rhys is our resident master Japanese tattooist who specialises in Japanese and neo traditional tattoos.

Have a look at Rhys’s work and you’ll see amazing large and small pieces with geishas, dragons, flowers, koi fish, tigers, snakes and samurais.

Rhys has done tattoos of numerous Japanese gods, mythological characters, Namakubi, masks, creatures from folklore and religious figures. You’ll see bright colours, black and grey with highly detailed shading and linework.

Rhys’ knowledge and experience with Japanese tattoo design is not just important for getting an amazing piece of body art. There is significant meaning behind all components of Japanese tattoos, the animal, god or even the choice of colour carries great meaning.

You wouldn’t get a script tattoo from someone who couldn’t spell; you wouldn’t get a Japanese tattoo from an artist who doesn’t understand the meaning of the design.

We invite you to discuss your tattoo goals and ideas with Rhys. As these tattoos are highly detailed, they often cover a vast space. Full sleeve, leg, Let our Japanese tattoo artist Rhys inspire you!

I was always drawing and figured it would be a great way to make money doing what I love.

One of my Japanese sleeves, the client gave me full artistic freedom with it and it came out really well.

It’s a really interesting style and there is a lot you can do with it.

Skateboarding and hanging out with friends.

Knowledgeable artists, great tattoos and a fun time with the artists.
