Horiyoshi 3 a true legend
When you think about Japanese tattoo, one artist must come into your mind, and that name is Horiyoshi III, the greatest master of Irezumi, the traditional handmade technique that simply means “Insert Ink”. I just got a new book with selected artwork by him and it looks awesome..I’m also trying to arrange a meeting and get a piece from the master when I travel to Tokyo.
Have a look at his website or click on the image for a detail article from Pingmag.
Great site! I love tattoos and have a few myself.
Do you think people are getting tattoos without having any idea what they mean. Or why they wanted it. My nephew explained to me that he got a full sleeve tattoo because he thought it would be cool. He is old enough to have a tatoo and had the money to pay for it. So everything was legit except for his reason. I have tats but they all have meaning and I had to earn the priveldge of wearing them. What’s you take on people getting tats for no reason.
