XM1014 | Irezumi (Factory New)

The XM1014 | Irezumi (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec shotgun skin — a gold-colored base wrapped with a snake in the Japanese Irezumi tattoo style. Factory New is the top grade, showing the gold finish and inked serpent at their most vivid before any wear appears.

Design

The finish coils a snake across a warm gold-colored body in the bold, flowing lines of traditional Japanese Irezumi tattooing, giving the shotgun a striking, ink-on-skin look. It's a community design by the artist Madara, and it carries a fitting tag: "Snakes represent wisdom and prophecy, two words which best describe XM1014 users."

XM1014 | Irezumi (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish runs from 0.00 to 0.80, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that band. At this grade the gold reads rich and the snake's linework stays sharp, with no scuffing to break up the tattoo. If you want the design exactly as inked, this is the grade to reach for.

XM1014 | Irezumi Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the most common of the colored weapon grades. It's an everyday class of skin, plentiful and easy to obtain.

XM1014 | Irezumi Case and Collection

This shotgun is part of The Kilowatt Collection and drops from the Kilowatt Case, released in February 2024. The Mil-Spec tier as a whole unboxes about 79.92% of the time from the case (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so it's the most common thing you'll pull — which keeps copies cheap and easy to find.

XM1014 | Irezumi Patterns

The design is fixed — the paint-seed index doesn't change how the snake or ornaments sit, so every copy carries the artwork the same way. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt here; wear and float are all that separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it's a rarer, pricier drop from the Kilowatt Case than the standard skin, and the counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold — it never gets wiped. There's no Souvenir edition, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never offered in one.

XM1014 | Irezumi Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder, but the skin overall is budget-tier, so even the best grade stays affordable. It's a low-cost way to bring some Irezumi ink to the shotgun slot. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it on this shotgun?

If you love the tattoo artwork, yes — Factory New keeps the gold rich and the snake's linework sharp, with no wear breaking it up. Since the whole finish is budget-priced, the step up from a lower grade costs little. Choose it when you want the Irezumi design looking exactly as it was inked.

Which gloves match the Irezumi?

Its gold-colored base and Japanese-ink theme pair well with warm or dark gloves — gold, tan, or black wraps complement the palette without fighting it, and a subtly patterned pair can echo the tattoo motif. Steer clear of loud neon tones, which clash with the finish's warm, traditional feel.

Does the paint seed matter on this skin?

No. The design is fixed, so the seed number never rearranges the snake or ornaments — all copies look the same apart from wear. There's no rare or blue-gem seed to chase, which means you can shop purely by wear grade and price without weighing the pattern index.
