Japanese Irezumi
Centuries of compositional rules, applied to a living canvas. Karl's Japanese tattoo work respects the discipline completely — foreground and background in balance, imagery that flows with the body's natural lines.
Irezumi as Discipline
Every element in an irezumi composition earns its place. From koi to dragons, chrysanthemums to waves — the subject matter, placement, and background work together according to principles that have governed this art form for centuries. Karl brings that discipline to every Japanese piece produced at Karlski Tattoo in Montreal's Old Port.
