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!

This Website

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”.

Infrequently Asked Questions • Part I • Professionalism and Preconceived Ideas

IAQ, the “Infrequently Asked Questions” and the infrequent answers given to them. Questions frequent enough to deserve extra-attention, but seldom enough to be kept out of the more conventional FAQ section of this website. Some of them do have something to do with tattooing, most of them don’t but, hopefully, answering to some of them will prove to be more useful than just entertaining :)

The first chapter of the series gives a little insight on how my personal views —about religion, as the example given in the article— affect my work. A must read for first time visitors who are thinking about getting a tattoo with a religious theme…

Blog Redesign

Before anything, a happy new year to you all! And thanks a lot for visiting!

I’ve just finished upgrading the weblog to the latest version and redesigning the whole thing; it’s actually an entirely new design, blacker, sexier and HTML 4er ;) A few loose ends here and there, but I’m taking care of them one by one, so the site is already usable and… did I mention sexier? :)
