Rooted in deep tradition, Oyabun’s founder, Yushi, began his journey in 1999 after moving to Japan, where he became a formal disciple of a traditional Japanese tattoo master, a rare path for a foreigner. Immersed in the cultural and aesthetic depth of Japanese tattooing, he honed his craft over decades, later facing societal challenges in Korea before relocating to California. In 2020, during the pandemic, Yushi and his wife Yuli opened Oyabun Tattoo in San Diego, fulfilling a lifelong dream of creating a space where traditional artistry meets modern mastery. The shop fosters a collaborative environment where artists inspire one another, grow through apprenticeships, and share their unique styles, including guest artist opportunities and a structured path for aspiring tattooists.
