Benney is a tattoo artist whose art is influenced by their Japanese background, childhood favorites, kawaii art, and traditional tattooing techniques. Their work draws inspiration from anime, yokai, mascots, folklore, and the strange comfort of nostalgia. For them, tattooing is more than just “body modification”: it is mutual care, it’s about people reclaiming themselves, it’s about sharing stories and connection between people trying to survive a world built on isolation. Benney wants the spaces around their work to feel safe, communal, and human. Above all? They want the spaces they create in to be spaces where people can exist as themselves, look out for one another, and create something that breaks ourselves free of the constructs that subjugate our autonomy.
