Horiyoshi Souryou the 3rd — Yokohama, Japan
Traditional Japanese tattooing is deeply intertwined with the Yakuza. It’s considered disrespectful to actually show them in public (which is why they’re usually cut off at the wrists and neck). A master will pass down his knowledge to a single apprentice, a process that takes years, and Horiyoshi “Souryou” the 3rd, who works out of a private studio in Yokohama, is the current heir to master Horiyoshi III’s tattoo line.
