Graphic Tribe Tattoos

Welcome!

Graphic Tribe is Dali Rău’s tattoo studio, located in Tokyo, Japan.

Black and Gray

Specialized in black and gray, fine-line, realistic designs, prolific in tattooing styles such as portraits, biomechanics, lifelike floræ and faunæ, compositions, dragons and kitsch art, but also having a vast experience in tribal and lettering tattoos.

Custom Designs

All tattoos are based on unique, original, custom designs, drawn from scratch for each and every client. Flash catalogs are never ever used or —to put it simply— we don’t need no stinkin’ flash!

Starting with detailed information about the studio system, contact details and an extensive FAQ section, and ending with a photo gallery containing approximately one thousand tattoo pictures grouped in several collections, this website aims to provide all the information you need for a thorough research and decision regarding your first/next tattoo(s), as well as an enjoyable visit for those of you “just looking”.

Back to Work

Hotmail Users

Window$ £ive Hotmail —a.k.a. “The Laughing Stock”— is, once again, randomly blocking legitimate e-mail messages from reaching your inbox. I gave up —long ago— trying to resend messages that had been rejected by them, so there is a good chance my replies never make it back to you.

Please use another account (e.g. Gmail, Fastmail) for our correspondence.

Thank you!

P.S.: When looking for an alternative, be aware that the snitches at Yahoo! will fuck you over with the first chance they get.
