I N K + Z E N

Inked Zen is a Japanese Zen-inspired tattoo and meditation studio located in Beverly Hills, California. Founded by world-renowned tattoo artist Hori Maki and certified sound practitioner Nicolas Sotomayor, our studio offers a bespoke experience where timeless artistry meets mindful luxury.

A Sanctuary Where Art Meets Mindfulness

Understanding the luxury mindset, Inked Zen offers a minimalist, serene environment designed to make every visit comfortable and exclusive. From bespoke consultations to custom-tailored designs thoughtfully placed to enhance the body's natural lines, every detail speaks to personalized elegance and elevated care.

The Zen Healing Experience™

Together we developed the Zen Healing Experience™ — our proprietary, step-by-step ceremony that blends intention setting, breathwork, sound-led attunement, mindful pacing during the tattoo session, and a closing integration ritual with personalized aftercare. It protects presence, honors tradition, and elevates a session from appointment to rite of passage.

A Sanctuary for Both First-Timers and Connoisseurs

We understand that the decision to get your first tattoo can be both exciting and daunting. Inked Zen provides a tranquil, welcoming environment designed to put even the most apprehensive clients at ease. Our compassionate team guides you thoughtfully through the process, making your introduction to tattooing a relaxing and empowering experience.

For seasoned collectors and enthusiasts, we specialize in grand, intricate designs that celebrate large-scale artistry. Our ability to craft custom multi-session tattoos means you can invest in a truly transformative and timeless piece, perfectly suited to your lifestyle and aesthetic ambitions.
