About Aren Wave

My name is Aren. I’m a professional tattoo artist with over 13 years of experience.

Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide range of styles — from color and black & grey realism to complex portrait compositions. For a long time, my main focus was realism, both in color and black & grey.

Now I’m gradually shifting my attention toward ornamental and form-focused work. I’m increasingly interested in how design interacts with anatomy — how line, rhythm, and shape enhance the body rather than simply sit on it. For me, it’s not only about image detail, but about how a tattoo moves, flows, and lives with the structure of the body.

I’ve worked internationally in more than nine countries, collaborating with studios and clients around the world. Throughout my career, I’ve participated in and won international tattoo conventions, including a convention in Germany and an international online convention during the lockdown period.

I’ve conducted masterclasses for fellow artists and have been invited multiple times to serve as a judge at major international tattoo conventions. Being recognized by the professional community at that level has played an important role in shaping my standards and artistic direction.

In recognition of my professional achievements, I was granted a U.S. O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary ability in the arts, allowing me to continue my work at an international level.

My approach is simple: quality over quantity. I focus on clean composition, strong contrast, longevity of the tattoo, and making sure the design ages well on the skin.

For me, tattooing isn’t just technical work — it’s psychology, emotion, and responsibility. I understand that a tattoo stays with you for life, and I treat every project with that mindset.

If you’re looking for a serious, high-level piece with attention to detail — you’re in the right place.
