About Makoto Tattoo

Makoto Tattoo is the studio of Makoto, an Australian-born Japanese tattoo artist working from the quiet, leafy suburb of Lane Cove North on Sydney's lower north shore. He has been tattooing since 2010, and travels to Japan have shaped a practice grounded in Japanese craft and culture.

The focus is custom work that blends traditional and modern technique, spanning Japanese style, black and grey, fine line and cover-ups. The process is collaborative and consultation-led, with a free consultation to develop each idea, so it suits people who want a bespoke piece and a calm, one-artist setting rather than a busy street shop.

For a considered custom tattoo with a Japanese sensibility, Makoto's small Lane Cove studio is a thoughtful place to start.
