traditional japanese irezumi

2 messages · last activity 1/31/2009

I am looking for a tattoo artist who does work with traditional japanese methods (irezumi, also known as tebori) I realize this is a highly specialized field and so I am prepared to travel and get the work done. I am also preparing to go back to Japan this summer, so if anyone knows of an artist who works with irezumi (and please don't say horiyoshi... who doesn't know that guy... ) i would really apreciate it.
