Geisha In Progress

Irezumi or Horimono is the Japanese word for the traditional visible Japanese Tattoo that covers large parts of the whole body like the arms, shoulders, leg, and the back.  Until now, traditional Irezumi is done by specialist tattooists; it is painful, time-consuming and expensive. Nowadays, Japanese young people choose to get one point or small designs tattoos  that can be completed in one sitting usually in the American or tribal styles.
