Best artist for Japanese work?

kliffklegg

New to the group and wondering if you can help.?!
Looking to start on a leg sleeve ..water theme--traditional Japanese style.I live in Galway and haven't found a local shop with what I want.
Willing to travel --any suggestions for the best traditional Japanese/Irezumi artist around(without going to Japan of course!!)

...How I'd love to get to Shige or Horiyu in Japan or Chris O'Donnell in NY!!
I was wondering if there was someone in Ireland who has a good reputation and specialises in Japanese stuff--some websites don't really have much and arent updated very much.
Saw some work( a koi ) on the new Inkwell website and was very impressed-JMD in Waterford has done some amazing stuff too-both Joe and Ian.
Anyone know of an artist (Japanese style) doing a guest spot in any studio in the coming months?

There is a tattoo studio just off lower grafton street, think the guys there are japanese.
Art tattoo in templebar, the italians there do japanese work, looks good
