Receiving Hajichi Tattoos
Congratulations on making the first steps to receive your hajichi tattoos.
​
My practice is rooted in the traditional timeline of hajichi. If you are seeking to start a growing set of hajichi over time, or build on existing pieces, I would love to meet to discuss how I can be a part of your journey. The choice of which elements of hajichi you get are a personal one, and we will discuss the traditional context to determine if I am the right hajichaa to give you these markings.
