About Bushido Tattoo
Doug aka Horihyo has been tattooing for 22 years and doing TEBORI for 7 years. He has trained under his Sensei, Ryugen from Tokyo Japan and is a member of the Ryugendo Family. When Ryugen decided that Doug was ready to tattoo TEBORI Ryugen chose a name that he thought best suits his personality and style. It was a great honor for Doug to be given the name Horihyo, which translates to Tattoo Leopard (Hori ‘tattoo’ and Hyo ‘leopard’).
TEBORI (Te ‘hand’ and Bori ‘carve’) is the traditional method of tattooing by hand that has been practiced for over 400 years in Japan. The tattoo instrument consists of a set of needles attached to an ebony, metal, or plastic handle called a Sashibo. The needles used in TEBORI are the same stainless steel needles used in machine tattooing, and the different needle configurations are handmade by the artist.
Though TEBORI may sound and look painful, clients find it is less painful than machine tattooing. The skin also heals quicker, as there is less inflammation and trauma to the skin than from work done with a machine.
When creating a TEBORI piece, Horihyo will line the design by machine, and do the color and shading by hand.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had a piece done by Malinda - who was an absolute gem. Professional, easy to talk to, and the tattoo is outstanding. The shop it self was also well kept, and had their COVID guidelines in place. I felt comfortable, well taken care of, and safe! Looking forward to more pieces in the future :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Been coming here for about 5 years working on my body suit. After a few years of planning I finally began it with Doug. Nothing but good vibes and pleasant experiences in a great environment. Highly recommended the artists here, do your homework and pick whoever suits you. Erin out front is super friendly and ready to lend a hand. Good luck!
