From Western Sydney to Hamburg – and Back Again
Hari’s tattoo journey began in Western Sydney, but a drive to grow his craft led him to Hamburg, Germany, where he spent several years tattooing and absorbing diverse international styles. This experience helped shape the globally inspired aesthetic he brings to clients today at Thirteen Feet Tattoo Haymarket, located in the heart of Darling Square—one of Sydney’s most dynamic cultural districts.
Specialising in Traditional, Japanese, Black & Grey & Portrait Tattoos
Hari’s artistry is rooted in Traditional Americana, Japanese-style tattoos, and Black & Grey realism, while also excelling in portrait tattoos and bold flash designs. From intricate Japanese back pieces to meaningful first tattoo designs, Hari’s work is known for its clean lines, balanced shading, and refined storytelling. Whether you're drawn to a fierce tiger, a delicate geisha, or a loved one’s portrait, Hari’s tattoos are both visually powerful and emotionally resonant.
