BIOGRAPHY
My name is Nicolás Tamashiro, a.k.a. Neeko. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I am a Japanese descendant from Higashi-son (Okinawa) and Tosa (Kōchi-ken). I started tattooing in 2006 and, in 2009, joined "Tattoomanía," one of the first tattoo studios in Buenos Aires, where I began studying Japanese tattooing and Ukiyo-e. After working in several studios, I opened my own shop, "Ichō Bunshin," in 2018. I am currently living in Japan.

OTHER PROJECTS
KABUTO
Rotary Machines
By mid-2017 the idea of designing a machine began but the attempts were unsuccessful. When I met my partner J.M. Casco (CNC Operator) this idea came to life at the beginning of 2018. The first prototypes came out in the middle of that same year.
Today, we continue working and perfecting the design of our Kabuto machines.
