WHERE CREATIVITY MEETS TRADITION

WELCOME TO HAPPY YOKAI TATTOO

Yōkai (妖怪, "strange apparition") are a class of supernatural entities and spirits in Japanese folklore. Benevolent or chaotic, amusing or frightening, these mischievous entities reflect a variety of mystical and mysterious experiences, and make for excellent designs when choosing a permanent skin-talisman to represent personal values, motifs, traits, and/or affections. The most commonly recognized yokai are the Hannya, the Kapa, the Kitsune, the Bakeneko and Nekomata, and various others.
