Our Story

Our name derives from the renowned tradition of paper lantern lighting that has been celebrated for centuries across many different cultures.

Paper lanterns hold many meanings and symbolic significance, most widely used as spirit guides into the afterlife.

They represent hope, unity, enlightenment, and transcendence. They stand for prosperity, luck, and new beginnings. All of which beautifully connect us to the art of tattooing.

Tattoos can remind us of our loved ones, show our passions, and state our truths. They can be reflections of our personalities, our trials and tribulations, and a testament to our courage. They can simply make us feel comfortable in our skin.
