Asian and Japanese traditional tattoos — the Moji way

Moji specializes in Asian-inspired tattoos and Japanese traditional (Irezumi), yet his approach breaks away from muted or conservative palettes.

His signature style is defined by:

Extremely vibrant and unconventional color usage.
Bold contrasts that elevate traditional motifs.
Dynamic compositions with powerful movement.
A unique colorway and form language unmistakably tied to Moji.

While rooted in tradition, his tattoos feel alive, modern, and fearless — instantly recognizable even without a signature.


A distinctive approach to color and form

What sets Moji apart is not just subject matter, but how he uses color.

Rather than following expected tones, Moji builds color harmony through instinct, experience, and intuition. The result is a visual intensity that feels deliberate rather than chaotic — a balance only achievable through years of mastery.

This approach has become a defining aesthetic within Silver Ant Tattoo’s identity.
