Asian mythology, spirituality & nature — brought to life in intricate detail and vibrant, saturated color.
My specialty lies in new-school Japanese style tattoos, with a passion for bringing aspects of Asian mythology, spirituality and nature to life through my art. Whether it's flowers, animals, dragons, or gods, I love to create pieces that are intricate in detail and vibrant in color.
By incorporating highly-saturated color gradients, I add depth and dimension to each design. I take great pride in my ability to make rich colors hold beautifully on all skin tones — confident in achieving vivid and lasting results.
I tattoo out of Emaki Art Collective, where a safe, friendly, and welcoming environment is incredibly important. Whether you prefer to chat or enjoy the peace & quiet, your comfort is always my top priority.
Dragons, koi, peonies and gods — rendered in saturated color built to last on every skin tone.

This art collective is one-of-a-kind for sure! I've had tattoos done at several shops but this place is different. It's truly eclectic with 9 different rooms, all hosted by incredibly talented artists, each with their own individual styles. My artist is Brian (@brian_divine3), who specializes in bold colors with some inspiration in neo-Japanese style. He's super gentle too, for those concerned about heavy handed artists! If you're looking for ink in SD, this is the ultimate one stop shop!
This was my first time at Emaki and it was an awesome experience. The shop was very professional and has a roster of incredible artists. I started my leg piece with Brian and couldn't be more excited to continue it. Before we started we went over the final touches on the sketch and Brian showed me different options to make sure that it was exactly what I wanted. Once we started was very attentive to making sure that I was comfortable the whole time while still staying focused on the piece. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for high quality work!
This place is nice. Clean, friendly, organized, and relaxed. Got tattooed by brian and he rules. Tattoo is super clean. He's good at riffing if I want to change something and helps make the whole experience great.
Dude came up with exactly what I wanted and made it better than I imagined. Highly recommended!
Got my arm sleeve and lower leg sleeve from Brian at Emaki. Does his own Japanese style and always comes out better than expected 👌

Last year I had the pleasure of getting a tattoo from Brian; I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience and outcome. Brian demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and creativity. He turned my vague idea into an amazingly beautiful work of art. The attention to detail and artistry is evident and I get compliments on this piece all the time. He makes the process comfortable and enjoyable with his positive attitude, not to mention his legit playlists! What I thought would be a single piece last year has turned into a full leg piece this year because I am so in love with the art. I highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated tattoo artist. Check out some of his work on Instagram @brian_divine3
Trust the process!
I just got done doing 2 back to back sessions with Brian and I was very pleased with the results. I've had tattoos done before with other artists but this experience was above and beyond expectations. First and foremost, the tattoo shop he works out of is very clean and inviting. His professionalism and attention to detail is definitely a WOW factor!
I have been coming to Emaki Art Collective for the past couple of months and I have to say that this is the best tattoo shop with the most skilled tattoo artists i have ever seen! The shop has an extremely unique design that feels welcoming and inviting at the same time. I am greeted with extremely nice and helpful front desk workers which helps me feel less anxious about my session. I have been going to Brian and he has made my dreams come true with my sleeve! I am always treated with the best customer service. Brian has really cool amenities that make the tattoo experience go extremely smoothly. I can tell Brian puts in a lot of effort when he tattoos and I can always trust his vision! Brian knows how to create a master piece exactly how you vision it and make it come to life with extreme detail. Going to Emaki Art Collective has been the best choice iv made and am extremely excited to continue my tattoo journey there with Brian!
