Horimatsu Bunshin has taken Sunset by storm since moving here in late 2019. We are super ecstatic to have him here, he is an absolute master at Traditional Japanese tattooing, and has raised the bar of our studio to an even higher level. Horimatsu has started lots of sleeves since here, including this rad dragon sleeve which is only a session away from finishing!
Japanese Dragon Sleeve by Horimatsu Bunshin - all shading done by Tebori.
When you get tattooed by Horimatsu, all shading is done using traditional Japanese methods, aka “Tebori”. Tebori translates to “hand carving” which sounds like your experience will be way slower and more painful than modern electric tattooing, however most people find it the exact opposite. Tebori generally is a lot less traumatic on the skin, causing less bleeding and scabbing during the healing process. Tattoos can also increase in brightness and look better with age!
