Japanese Art & Tattoo Guitar Skins

Japanese and tattoo-style artwork suits a guitar body well, with a dragon, a breaking wave or drifting blossom following the curves and filling the space from horn to tail. Here you will find designs such as a moonlit mountain pagoda, a kimono-clad frog and a tattooed rose muse, printed on high-gloss laminated vinyl for whole bodies or pickguards.

Two sizes, one design

The full body sheet (50×60 cm) covers the front and sides of any guitar or bass body in one piece. The pickguard sheet (27.5×33 cm) carries the whole design scaled down, ready to cut to a Tele or a Strat pickguard.

Common questions

Will a large design like the dragon or wave fit my body shape?

The 50×60 cm sheet covers a whole guitar or bass body, so you can position the artwork before cutting and choose which part of the dragon or wave sits on the lower bout. Busy all-over designs such as cherry blossom are the easiest to place, as there is no single focal point to center.

How do the colors and finish look once applied?

The skins are laminated with a high-gloss layer, so the deep blues, reds and fine linework stay sharp and the surface looks finished without a clear coat. Detailed areas such as wave crests and tattoo shading are printed at full resolution across the sheet.

Can I use one of these designs on just the pickguard?

Yes, there is a 27.5×33 cm pickguard sheet that suits a single motif such as the frog or the pagoda against a plain body. Most designs are printed to order, while some are in stock and ship sooner.
