About the Artist:After graduating from the Nippon Institute of Design, Horiren first started working for a computer-game design company. After that she moved further afield and became successful working as a muralist; however she was unable to give up on her desire to become a tattoo artist. It was then at the age of 30 that she began her path of self-study. Now, years later, she has devoted herself to the profession and is officially known as HORIREN the 1st.
