Meet Chris B: Master of Japanese Irezumi & American Traditional Tattooing at Silver Ghost Tattoo

At Silver Ghost Tattoo, we take pride in our diverse roster of talented artists, each bringing their own expertise and passion to the craft. One of our standout artists, Chris B, is a true master of both Japanese irezumi and American traditional tattooing—two of the most iconic and respected styles in the tattoo world.


The Art of Irezumi

Japanese irezumi is a style rich in history, symbolism, and storytelling. Known for bold lines, intricate shading, and striking imagery, this traditional tattooing technique has been revered for centuries. From fierce dragons and majestic koi fish to elegant peonies and powerful samurai, Chris B’s irezumi work embodies the essence of Japanese tattooing. His deep understanding of composition, flow, and cultural significance ensures that each piece feels both authentic and timeless.


Bold & Timeless: American Traditional

On the other side of the spectrum, Chris B also excels in the bold, punchy aesthetic of American traditional tattooing. With its thick outlines, limited colour palette, and iconic imagery—such as eagles, anchors, pin-ups, and panthers—this style is rooted in tattoo history and remains as popular as ever. Whether you’re looking for a classic sailor-inspired piece or a modern take on a vintage design, Chris brings a level of craftsmanship that makes every tattoo pop with vibrancy and longevity.
