OLI IWAKURA

Japanese • Anime • Japanese-Inspired Tattooing

Japanese art isn’t simply an influence in Oli’s work — it’s part of his background.

Half Japanese, Oli grew up surrounded by the traditional artwork of his grandparents, creating an early connection with Japanese imagery, composition and design.

Today, his tattooing moves between traditional Japanese influences and contemporary Japanese culture, including anime-inspired work.
The result is work that can feel traditional, modern or somewhere beautifully in between.

If Japanese or anime is your thing, Oli is a very good place to start.
