I’m Marina, nice to meet you.
I’m a tattoo artist at Thousand Stroke Tattoo, based in San Francisco, and House Tattoo, based in Alameda.
I am a Japanese American artist and I am inspired by traditional Japanese motifs, however I love putting my own modern spin to the work I design. My current obsessions are drawing Chrysanthemums, Kimono Patterns, and Yokai.
Whether you're getting your first piece or adding to your collection, I'd love to work with you and create something meaningful.
