Japanese tattoo style, also known as Irezumi or Horimono, is a traditional style of tattooing that originated in Japan. It is generally known for its natural imagery including dragons, koi fish, tigers, Geishas, Samurais, waves, peonies, phoenixes and Oni, to name a few.

Very similar to American Traditional, but this style  incorporates more intricate line-work and shading techniques to create a softer and more nuanced look. Generally more neutral and darker color palettes are chosen and different motifs often used such as mythological creatures and flora.
