Who Is Behind Hannya Pens?
Meet Ayden, a tattoo artist from Australia with 13 years of experience in the industry. Tattooing isn’t just a job for Ayden — it’s a craft refined over more than a decade of dedication.
Hannya Pens began as a passion project just a year ago. What started as a simple idea has quickly grown into a trusted tool for tattooists looking for reliable, affordable freehand stencil pens.
What Is Hannya Pen?
Hannya Pen is an affordable freehand stencil pen designed specifically for tattoo artists.
The goal?
To create a high-quality skin marking pen that artists can confidently use — and discard if cross-contaminated — without worrying about cost.
Many stencil pens on the market are expensive, which can make artists hesitant to replace them when needed. Hannya Pens are built to be practical, safe, and budget-friendly — without sacrificing performance.
Ayden’s Process Using Hannya Pens
Every artist has their own method, but here’s Ayden’s approach:
- Start with clean, dry skin
Oils can clog the pen tip, so preparation is key. - Sketch with yellow first
Lightly map out the design using a yellow pen. - Refine with darker colours
Once the composition feels right, go over the design with darker tones for clarity and precision.
The emphasis is on clean skin and controlled layering — a simple but effective process.
Challenges & Support
When asked about hurdles in starting the brand, Ayden shares that the journey has been smooth and enjoyable so far.
With strong support in design and promotion — and plenty of encouragement along the way — Hannya Pens has grown through community backing and collaboration.
Gratitude plays a big role in the brand’s story.
