I think this artist is GREAT! my boyfriend and I had the pleasure of meeting him at his shop yesterday in Alhambra for a consultation, my boyfriend is Japanese & is truly honored to be getting a tattoo from Horiyen, & hopefully very soon,& I plan to have one done by him one day as well, this man is a true & again GREAT artist, anyone who thinks differently should honestly keep their ignorant comments or opinions to themselves. All tattoo artists are inspired by someone it doesnt make them fake!

How much is a tattoo like that? Its a masterpiece!

[Rhapthorne3]

If I'm ever to get a tattoo i would love to have one of these....if only it didn't cost a lot and if only It didn't hurt like hell. Still, who cares if he's not japanese...he's obviously very well disciplined and skilled.

@mytattoobodypiercing wasnt shige taught by filip leu? i am pretty sure he isnt japanese.

[desolate]

@mytattoobodypiercing Agree. In today's times, what is fake and what is real? What are u really not a hybrid of? Jess is disciplined and excels in his field. Most importantly he carries the spirit of the traditionalism of what he has learnt.

[DirugazeXD]

AWSOMENESS>XD i wanted to learn the Tebori style of tattooing but there is nowhere in the N.E united states to learn T^T

@frankhaseyes what's your problem ... it's tattooing it's as old as mankind so why the hell should non-japanese people can't do japanese tattoos ... if u say only japanese people can do real tebori tattoos well then only real japanese people can get a real tebori tattoo that simple ... if you're picky about that kind of stuff while this is an amazing artist then u're not even worhty judging about that or etting tattooed yourself ...

This is amazing. I've been a tattoo artist for over seven years now, but I have always wanted to learn this particular style. I've heard that the coloring achieved by the tebori method achieves brilliant colors compared to that of a machine. How long did the entire piece take to color by hand?

[alisha201]

@luvleelady68 how much did it cost him?
