Choshu Horikazu Tattoo Studio

Horikazu does outstanding work. His reputation is legendary in the MCAS Iwakuni community. If you want a well done traditional Japanese tattoo, this is where you go.

First of all, these guys will go through great lengths and look at every detail to make sure you get what you want. They are flexible and can work with your schedule. They are a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you do not speak Japanese, that is no problem, there is a very friendly translator on staff. The artist does amazing work with amazing speed. I got the entire outline of my back piece done in just a few hours. I would definitely recommend this studio to friends and go back for more. I did not get it done personally but I've seen that they also do the traditional Japanese style of tattooing as well and the results looks awesome. The artist won best back piece at the London Tattoo Convention a few years ago. If you know what that is you know his reputations speaks for itself. If you are in the Yamaguchi area and want a Traditional Japanese tattoo this is the place to go to.

AMAZING work! I feel honored to have a piece done by him. The master truly is a master. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to have a piece by him, take it! My tattoo by the Master is the most perfect thing in the universe.

The best tattoo artist in this part of the world. The detail that goes in to his tattoos is incredible.

Horikazu is an amazing and professional tattoo artist. He is one of the best traditional Japanese tattoo artist in Japan. His tattoo studio has a great atmosphere and is pretty much a mini museum containing many tattoo devices and art out for display. I highly recommend this place especially if you want to get a traditional Japanese style tattoo. This place is also very military friendly.
