About IAN HILZ

IAN HILZ is a Japanese tattoo practice based around Woolloomooloo in Sydney's inner east, with work also carried out at studios in Surry Hills and Alexandria. The focus is Japanese tattooing across both traditional and modern approaches.

Every piece is a custom, one-off design worked to the client's brief, with a portfolio leaning into dragons, tigers, koi, phoenixes and hannya masks across larger formats such as sleeves and back pieces. The studio is fully licensed and held to strict hygiene standards.

It suits people committed to substantial, story-driven Japanese work rather than quick walk-in pieces.
