About Horisumi - Kian Forreal
Horisumi is a Surry Hills studio specialising in traditional Japanese tattooing — irezumi and horimono — led by an artist who studied extensively in Japan and has worked in the craft since the early 1990s.
A defining feature is tebori, the traditional hand-poked method, offered alongside machine work; the studio describes it as a calmer, quicker-healing way to be tattooed. Much of the work centres on large-scale Japanese pieces built over multiple sessions, which suits people committed to a considered, longer-term project.
Work is planned through consultation rather than walk-in, with designs developed around each client's ideas.
