Oldschool and Japanese Tattoos
Swen Losinsky, better known as “Heavy Irezumi”, has made a name for himself with his impressive Japanese tattoos in Berlin. From a very young age he was fascinated by the visual language of American Traditional and Japanese bodysuits. Since 2005 he has been living his dream as a tattoo artist. Over the years, however, his focus has shifted from American Traditionals to authentic, traditional Japanese tattoos, developing his unique style influenced by both worlds. His work is characterized by a powerful and harmonious full body concept that reflects his deep connection to Japanese culture and aesthetics.
Swen’s motifs draw inspiration from the rich Japanese mythology and iconic woodcuts, particularly the Ukiyo-e genre. His tattoos blend expressiveness and elegance. Backgrounds connect motifs seamlessly and gently follow the wearer’s body contours.

HORIMONO AND SMALL TATTOOS
Swen sees tattoos not just as simple images on the skin but as complex artworks. His work is a creative process where each tattoo becomes a unique expression of his client’s personality.
Specializing in cover-ups of old, unwanted tattoos, he approaches these projects with a meticulous eye and a deep understanding of design. He expertly blends elements and colors to seamlessly integrate the old ink into new, meaningful designs. Each cover-up is not just a chance to erase the past but to transform it into something visually stunning and personally empowering. By turning past chapters into new stories, Swen restores confidence and strength to his clients, helping them embrace their skin with renewed pride.
His extensive experience in American Traditionals gives even small Japanese tattoos a unique twist. Noh masks, lucky charms, and Japanese flowers become attractive alternatives for tattoo enthusiasts who are not yet ready for large scale projects like bodysuits, armsleeves, or legsleeves.
