MICHI

Realism · Abstract Realism · Trash Polka · Portrait

Michi is a Japanese tattoo artist based at Fall Back Down Tattoo in New Westminster, BC, specializing in realism, abstract realism, Trash Polka, and portrait tattooing.

Born in Hyogo, Japan, Michi’s journey into tattooing began after receiving his first tattoo while living in Toronto. His background in drawing, watercolor, and oil painting continues to influence his approach to tattooing, combining realistic imagery with expressive, abstract elements.

Michi focuses on creating custom pieces designed specifically for each client, from detailed portraits and realism to bold Trash Polka and large-scale compositions. His work has attracted clients from across British Columbia, Canada, the United States, and abroad.

SELECTED WORK

COVER-UP TATTOOS

Cover-up tattoos require careful planning, composition, and an understanding of how to work with existing ink. Each project is custom designed to transform the existing tattoo into a new piece that feels intentional — not simply hidden.
