Yip Tattoo Studio was founded in 2024 by Derek Yip. Derek began his journey in tattooing in 2012 and has spent years on the road refining his craft, including training under Orient Ching of Taiwan.
Through craftsmanship of Japanese tattooing—focusing on strong composition, movement, and designs that flow naturally with the body. Each piece is approached as a collaboration, taking the time to understand what matters to the client and translating that into something lasting.
Whether it’s a large-scale piece or something smaller, the goal is always the same: to create work that feels meaningful, balanced, and timeless. Yip Tattoo Studio is a space where tradition meets personal expression, and every piece is made with intention.
