Meet Shino – Japanese Traditional & Neo Traditional Tattoo Artist in Los Angeles

Hi, I’m Shino, a Los Angeles tattoo artist originally from Japan. Before becoming a tattoo artist, I spent more than 10 years working as a special effects makeup artist, where I developed a strong eye for detail, color, composition, and artistic storytelling.
