✨ Welcoming Hideyuki Hirasawa to the KAERU Needles Tokyo Pro Team ✨
We are truly honored to welcome Hideyuki Hirasawa (@dragon_claw_tattoo ) from Japan 🇯🇵 to the KAERU Pro Team.
Tattooing since 2005, with nearly 20 years of experience, Hirasawa-san continues to push the boundaries of his craft through his powerful Japanese-style tattoos. His deep respect for tradition and constant pursuit of improvement embody the true spirit of a lifelong artist.
He believes there is no final destination in tattooing — only continuous growth, learning, and dedication. That mindset perfectly reflects the values we hold at KAERU Needles Tokyo. 🌸
We’re proud to walk this path together and can’t wait to see what we’ll create side by side.
Welcome to the team, Hide-san. 🙏
We are truly honored to welcome @shuryu to the @kaeruneedlestokyo Pro Team.
With nearly 35 years of dedication to tattooing, his journey began in 1991 and has been guided by passion, patience, and a deep respect for the craft. From his early professional years in 1994, to independently embracing tebori in 2000, and later incorporating machine-based color and shading around 2010—Shuryu has continued to grow with unwavering commitment towards his passion about tattooing.
Today, he expresses a style that is uniquely his own, moving gracefully beyond the limits of traditional Japanese tattooing while honoring its roots. A true master of both machine and tebori, and a wonderful addition to our KAERU family.

We are honored to welcome Manish Kadam (@makkadam) to the KAERU Needles Tokyo Pro Team.
A self-taught tattoo artist and a true multidisciplinary creative, Manish is also an illustrator, muralist, sculptor, and visionary visualizer.
Graduated from L.S. Raheja School of Art, Bandra, with formal training in design and aesthetics, Manish discovered tattooing in 2010 and soon found his calling in traditional styles.
Today, he brings to life a unique fusion of illustration, typography, and calligraphy, layered with tribal, abstract, and realistic elements. When not working on nature-inspired designs or portraits, he’s creating art at his own studio, Ink India Company in Mumbai.
Welcome to the KAERU family, Manish. We’re proud to support your journey and your artistry!
🌿✨ A heartfelt welcome to (@ericedward )– the newest member of the KAERU Needles Tokyo Pro Team! 🐸💫
We are truly honored to welcome Eric Edward, a passionate artist and the founder of Pachakuth Tattoo Studio in Kochi, Kerala, India, to the KAERU family.
Eric’s journey with art spans over 15 years, and for the past 6 years, he has dedicated himself fully to the craft of tattooing. His work is deeply inspired by the natural world, and he is best known for his stunning freehand line tattoos that flow organically across the skin. With a background in multiple art forms, Eric creates tattoos that are not only visually striking but also deeply personal and meaningful.
He also specializes in surrealistic and traditional large-scale tattoos, where bold storytelling and detailed composition come together to form truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
At KAERU, we deeply value artists who pour heart and soul into their work — and Eric embodies that spirit completely. We are so grateful to have him as part of our growing global community of artists, and we look forward to supporting him on his creative journey.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to
Eric Edward. Welcome to the family.
Here’s to new beginnings, shared inspiration, and meaningful art.
