Michael Gary has been tattooing professionally since 2011, specializing in large-scale Japanese-style tattoos. From the beginning of his career, he has been deeply inspired by traditional Japanese imagery, folklore, and Ukiyo-e art.
Michael’s approach centers on collaboration—working closely with each client to create custom designs that bridge traditional Japanese storytelling with a modern sensibility. His tattoos are known for their timeless aesthetic, thoughtful composition, and the way they harmonize with the body’s natural form.
With a focus on capturing the client’s energy and individuality, Michael aims to craft pieces that feel like they were made specifically for the wearer—bold, meaningful, and enduring.
