The Meaning Behind Our Name
Tsukuyomi is the moon god in Japanese mythology and one of the three great deities — alongside Amaterasu (the sun) and Susanoo (the storm).
Unlike his powerful and passionate siblings, Tsukuyomi embodies quiet strength, introspection, and grace — a calm presence that shines without force.
At Tsukuyomi Ink, this name reflects our core belief:
You don’t need to shout to be heard.
The most meaningful things often shine quietly — and endure the longest.
Our Philosophy
We believe your tattoo should tell a story — not just look beautiful.
At Tsukuyomi Ink, we create kanji tattoos rooted in cultural depth, personal meaning, and authentic Japanese expression.
We believe in the quiet strength of words, and the imperfect beauty found in simplicity.
Inspired by the philosophy of wabi-sabi, we help you express something timeless — even in what is meant to fade.
Who We Are
Tsukuyomi Ink was founded by a Japanese MBA graduate with a passion for meaningful design and a deep respect for cultural authenticity.
Every design is crafted with care — grounded in research, reflection, and a commitment to clarity, intention, and enduring beauty.
Why Kanji
Kanji holds power in a single stroke.
Unlike direct translations, kanji can express complex emotions with grace, depth, and restraint.
Whether you’re honoring a loved one, remembering a moment, or expressing your strength, we help find the character that best represents your inner message.
For Those Who Seek More
We work with artists, travelers, spiritual seekers, and anyone who feels a deep connection to Japan.
Every design is custom-made — never reused — and delivered with clarity, care, and cultural respect.
Your kanji tattoo should say more than words ever could.
