Reja Eshraghian Anak Tipik

Reja Eshraghian is a tattoo artist based in Kuching, Sarawak, and the founder of Rakta Dhatu Studio, a space built around calm energy, conversation, and the shared experience of art on skin. With over a decade of tattooing experience, his journey has been about finding balance between heritage and innovation, between the ancient rhythm of Borneo’s tribal traditions and the evolving language of modern artistry.

His style draws from tribal and neo-traditional influences, reimagining cultural roots through a contemporary lens. For Reja, tattooing is not only an art form but also a dialogue, a way to connect stories, identity, and belonging. Every piece he creates carries a quiet weight of intention, shaped by trust and the shared moment between artist and client.

Through Rakta Dhatu, Reja built a studio that feels both classy and comfortable, where creativity flows as naturally as conversation. That same spirit extends to the Bunga Terong Project, an initiative born from the tattooing community to give back to the villages that inspired their art. The project gathers support and crowdfunding to help complete the construction of a longhouse, symbolizing how tattoo culture can bridge artistry and solidarity.

Each tattoo, project, and collaboration reminds him that art has the power to connect — to carry forward what was, while shaping what comes next.

For me, making an impact is about using my craft to uplift others, to connect, give back, and create change that reaches beyond the skin.
