Japanese Tattoo Designs

ALL DAY has several artists experienced in Japanese tattoo work. When you message us with your idea, we match you with the artist whose strengths fit your piece best. You get better results and broader availability, which matters when you are working around travel dates.

If your idea is not in the gallery above, message us anyway. We cover the full range of Japanese subjects and placements.

Japanese Sleeve and Back Piece Tattoos

Whether it is a single piece or a full sleeve, Japanese compositions are built to work with the body. A design that follows the contours of your arm, uses your shoulder as a natural frame, or fills a back panel from shoulder to hip. Our artists plan for this from the first sketch.

Planning something that will take more than one session? Multi-day projects are normal for Japanese work, and we plan your sessions around your trip so you leave with as much done as possible.

Already have Japanese work from another studio? We extend existing pieces regularly. The style is built for it. Tell us what you have and where you want to take it.

Japanese Tattoo Cover-Ups

Japanese tattoos are one of the strongest styles for covering existing ink. Bold linework, rich colour, and layered backgrounds give your artist plenty to work with.

Send us a photo of what you want covered and we will tell you straight what is realistic. Cover-up consultations are free.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Japanese tattoo cost in Bangkok?

ALL DAY charges 3,500 THB per hour with a 2,800 THB minimum. Japanese tattoos tend to be larger work, so most sessions run several hours or more. We give you an honest time and cost estimate before you commit. For a full breakdown, see our tattoo cost guide.

How long does a Japanese tattoo take?

It depends entirely on size and detail. A smaller piece might take 3 to 5 hours in a single session. A half sleeve is typically a full day. A full sleeve or back piece usually takes 2 to 4 sessions. We give you a realistic time estimate when you share your idea with us, before you book anything.

Can I start small and extend a Japanese tattoo later?

Yes. Japanese tattoos are one of the few styles specifically designed to be extended. A half sleeve becomes a full sleeve. A single panel grows into a larger composition. If you have longer-term plans, mention them when you first message us and your artist will build the first piece with future expansion in mind.

Do your artists specialise in Japanese tattoo work?

ALL DAY has several artists with deep experience in Japanese tattoo work. When you message us, we match you with the artist whose style and strengths best fit your piece. You can see recent work from the team in the gallery above.

Can Japanese tattoos cover existing ink?

In many cases, yes. The bold lines, rich colour, and layered backgrounds in Japanese work make it one of the strongest styles for cover-ups. Send us a photo of what you want covered and we will give you an honest assessment. Cover-up consultations are free.
