About me

Thomas Pineiro HORITOU is a Brazilian tattoo artist specializing in traditional Japanese Irezumi, known for his freehand approach and natural flow that harmonizes with the body’s movement. With over 17 years of experience, he began tattooing in 2008 and has dedicated his career since 2010 to mastering large-scale, cohesive Japanese compositions. His work emphasizes balance, storytelling, and the dynamic interaction between subject and form—drawing inspiration from classical ukiyo-e art while maintaining a distinctly modern execution. Thomas currently works out of San Diego, California, where he continues to refine his craft and collaborate with clients worldwide seeking authentic, timeless Japanese tattoos.
