Irezumi - Traveling to Japan in 4 weeks.

My brother and I are leaving for japan on nov. 29th and both wanted to get tattoos while we're there. Can anyone recommend an artist or shop. We will be flying into Tokyo and have the JR rail passes for 2 weeks so we're not limited on locations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks all. i actually managed to score an appointment with Horikiku-san in Yokohama at the Tattoo Museum. the guy is a phenomenal artist (freehanded everything) and is a pleasure to talk to. got 4 sessions. will be posting pics when i return to the states. highly recommend horikiku-san or any of Horiyoshis apprentices.; ▶ Reply to This
