Biography
Born Yoshihito Nakano in 1946, Horiyoshi III is considered to be the last living legend specializing in Irezumi, full body Japanese tattoos. Master Horiyoshi has been tattooing for over 35 years and his tattoos are usually outlined by free-hand using machine, but color is inserted using the traditional Tebori or Japanese hand poke tattooing technique.
His images are classical Japanese woodblock print motifs such as the phoenix, dragon, snakes, tigers, samurai warriors, Buddhist gods to name a few as well as background images of waves, clouds and various flowers. Among Horiyoshi III's published works are 36 Ghosts, 108 Heroes of the Suikoden, 100 Demons, and The Namakubi (severed heads), 100 Dragons and 58 Warriors. Horiyoshi?s artistic genius and generosity of spirit have had a defining impact on the world of tattooing, taking it to new levels in this new century.
