A traditional Japanese tattoo studio in Riccarton, Christchurch, where the work runs from traditional irezumi to contemporary designs. Horiga 13 Irezumi is at 2/29 Acheron Drive. It has traditional Japanese tattoos and authentic designs. Reviewers say the artist is known for traditional style, and also does contemporary designs built from ideas the client brings. Work described includes large pieces such as sleeves and a side panel, and tebori hand work combined with machine tattooing. Freehand ideas and vibrant colour work come up in reviews, and the studio is described as private.
One customer spent around two and a half years designing a piece with the artist, and says the process was insightful and the finished work is lovely. Another says the artist is very easy to sit with, and a third says many of their tattoos still look as vibrant as the day they were done.
