japanese tattoo at 71studio Barcelona

What is a japanese-style tattoo?

Traditional Japanese tattooing uses bold outlines, dense fill, strong shading, and backgrounds featuring waves, clouds, wind, and water. It can be executed with a machine or with tebori, the hand-poke technique using wooden or metal rods.

Common motifs include koi fish, dragons, tigers, serpents, geishas, samurai, hannya masks, phoenixes, and flowers such as sakura and peony. The most popular formats are sleeves, full back pieces, chest panels, torso coverage, and bodysuits.

When to choose this style?

The right choice for those looking for large-scale, symbolic compositions with strong visual clarity.

Frequently asked questions about japanese tattoos

How much does a japanese tattoo cost in Barcelona?

The price depends on size, complexity and body area. A small piece starts from our studio minimum. Medium and large pieces are quoted by session hour, with a closed quote after consultation.

How long does a session last?

Between 1 and 6 hours depending on the piece. A mini tattoo: 30-90 minutes. A medium piece: 2-4 hours. Large pieces (sleeves, full back): several sessions.

How should I prepare for my session?

Arrive well rested, hydrated, with clothing suitable for accessing the tattoo area comfortably. Eat something beforehand (not on an empty stomach). Avoid alcohol the 24h prior.

Is it a good idea for a first tattoo?

It depends. If it's your first tattoo, we talk with you before the session to resolve any doubts: pain, aftercare, expectations. No pressure.
