Horiyoshi III is maybe old but its still amaizing, his son will be Horiyoshi IV, and he will kleep going with the tradition. So far i know there are/ were two disciples of him, Horitaka( who was cast out from the Familly), Alex Reinke aka Horikitsune.

THank god there are few Irezumi masters at "same level" as him some Horiyasu.

@utsawin09 Your comments a year old... but no-one else replied... so I will. Yes he still tattoos. My friend is getting work done with him currently. And he is a foriegner, so its possible sure, even for foreigners. His health isnt what it was so I would probably recommend trying another tattooist however. His hands arent as agile as they once were. He has trouble with the tebori stick and uses gun mostly nowadays.
