For Manny Tatsu, tattooing is more than putting artwork on skin. It’s about turning the characters, stories, passions, and worlds that matter to you into something you can carry for life.
Manny’s journey began with a lifelong love of anime—especially Dragon Ball Z, which inspired him to start drawing at a young age. After beginning his tattooing journey in 2010 and entering the profession in 2013, he has spent more than a decade developing his craft as a tattoo artist, illustrator, and painter.
Today, Manny specializes in anime, vibrant color, Japanese-inspired, fantasy, and custom tattoos, with a particular passion for expressive characters, dramatic compositions, and bold color. His work is designed not simply to reproduce a reference, but to reinterpret it into a piece that feels natural on your body and personal to you.
Every project starts with communication. Your ideas, references, and the meaning behind them become the foundation; Manny brings the artistic experience to shape those elements into a cohesive tattoo built around your body.
The goal is simple: a tattoo that looks incredible, feels uniquely yours, and continues to mean something long after the appointment.
