Inyodo Body Art Gallery (Opening Night)

ANNIVERSARY WEEK OPENING NIGHT
Join us as we explore Japanese tattoo art and culture, celebrating the body as a canvas for art. Immerse yourself in the surreal beauty of Japanese tattoos at our Body Art Gallery in Ren, and experience the mystique culture at our Body Manipulation Show in Kyo.

BODY ART GALLERY @ REN
From artistic to spiritual, Japanese tattoos are elaborate works of art that showcase spellbinding stories, life-changing experiences and brilliant self-expression. Turn your body into a masterpiece with the talented tattoo artists from Shipwreck Tattoos, Good Vibrations and Darkwood Art to translate your story into a beautiful piece of art.

BODY MANIPULATION SHOW @ KYO
This one’s for the “freaks”, “weirdos” and “outcasts” - as we celebrate another year in Malaysia, we celebrate those who aren’t afraid to be themselves. Get inspired by the tattooed models on display, while admiring their exquisite body art. We embrace weirdness, so let your freak flag fly and join the show!

“I had a strong passion for tattoos, so I went to purchase tattoo needles, ink and other supplies. I didn’t know how to use a machine, so I started strongly with traditional hand-poke techniques.”

Lina David, Shipwreck Tattoos

Past Experiences: Olivia has been a tattoo artist for 6 years now, previously working with Spec Body Art before going solo.

“I didn’t have the freedom in my art when I was in college, so tattooing was the only way I could express my work.”

“I’ve always been inclined to the art of tattooing, hence when a friend had a tattoo machine, I seized the opportunity to borrow it from him to try. Ever since then my goal was to become a tattoo artist.
