We’re proud to introduce Marina, a Japanese-American tattoo apprentice based in San Francisco who goes by the handle Takami Ink. Deeply inspired to carry on the rich cultural tradition of tattooing while bringing it into the modern era, Marina is still exploring and developing her unique style. She dreams of creating bold, meaningful pieces that honor both past and present.
These photos capture a special milestone — the very first time Marina tattooed skin, and yes, it was on herself! This moment was full of learning and growth, fueling her passion to keep building her skills and storytelling through ink.
By booking an appointment with Marina, you’re not just getting a tattoo—you’re helping someone realize a dream and make a life through art, by offering up your skin as a canvas. She’s currently accepting bookings for her summer waitlist, and the first 10 appointments are completely free as she hones her craft. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting beginning!
