RAY

Born in Yokosuka, Japan, and raised on Whidbey Island, Ray has found his true home in Seattle over the past decade. During this time, he nurtured a close-knit community that wholeheartedly embraced his vision, offered unwavering support, and never doubted his potential for success. It was their steadfast encouragement that not only enabled him to realize his dream of becoming a tattoo artist but also empowered him to co-found Off-Gray Studio.

Ray's passion for tattooing goes beyond the ink. With his magnetic personality and big heart, Ray has an innate ability to intricately weave a client's unique narrative into their body art. With every project Ray makes it his personal mission to infuse reverence, grace, and a profound sense of purpose, ensuring that every tattooing experience becomes an extraordinary journey.

Collaborating with Ray is an opportunity to witness the artistry of tattooing and storytelling converge. Amidst shared laughter, tears, and tales, you'll not only depart Off-Gray Studio with a piece of art that is uniquely yours but also, more than likely, a newfound friend.
