Kawaii Anime-Inspired Tattoos by Kim Ai

Kim Ai is a tattoo artist and illustrator based at Moderne Electrique tattoo studio in Montpellier, France.

An out-and-out fan of Japanese culture, Kim Ai creates custom tattoos inspired by anime, Japanese pop culture and traditional arts. Her small and adorable tattoos are paying a tribute to chibi and kokeshi dolls, but also to darker and more mature mangas. Her knowledge about contemporary Japanese culture is as impressive as her utterly kawaii-like designs.
