Japanese tattooing · Philadelphia
Built to live
on the body.
Large-scale Japanese tattooing informed by traditional composition, historical imagery and the movement of the body.
01 / APPROACH
Japanese tattooing as a complete composition.
The goal is not simply to place an image on skin. Each large piece is considered as a whole — silhouette, movement, background, color and the way the design follows the body.
Andy has been tattooing in the greater Philadelphia area since 2011, with a focus on Japanese Traditional work alongside American Traditional tattooing.

About Andy
Traditional roots.
Contemporary life.
Andy Robinson has been tattooing since 2011 and specializes in Japanese Traditional and American Traditional work. His large-scale pieces draw heavily from 19th-century Japanese woodblock prints, natural subjects and the visual language of traditional tattooing.
He has worked internationally in Ireland, Tokyo, Switzerland and Belgium. His practice is grounded in extensive drawing and preparation, with in-person consultations for larger projects.
