Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by!

My name is Imani (イマーニ), tattoo artist, illustrator and kawaii enthusiast.

Little INKPLAY Shop is my effort to create a successful space where kawaii lifestyle meets tattoo tradition - from DC to Japan, literally!

Be sure to check out Little INKPLAY Shop , So Far and stop by my tiny space on the web for a full explaination of my kawaii + creative dreamss at DC to Japan.




My vision now has a home in the Hyattsville Arts District, PG County, MD.
(Dear patrons, the dust has settled and my first round of thanks you's are coming!)


And on to phase two - travel, networking, & brand building from DC to Japan ^.^

Here's a video from my Spring 2017 trip ~

Will you donate to help me get there this fall?
