Testimonials

I had been looking for a while for a Master at his craft !! . From my first catch up with Holger I knew I’d found a special man . So from that day onward I have built a awesome friendship with this Mater of this Craft . And he has applied his craft to my body . .
. People talk about being reborn spending time with Holger is like a rebirth 😊😊👊👊

I came in to see Horiga requesting a cover up piece and I was more than impressed by his professionalism and helpful suggestions. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to get done but with his patience we finalised an idea. We settled on a Japanese oni inspired suit, which is currently still in progress, but it already looks amazing and the old tattoos are barely recognisable. Before walking in I had no idea it would turn out looking more like an art piece than just any old ‘stamp’ tattoo. I highly recommend Horiga due to his great work ethic, patience and the ability to keep the entire process light hearted and relatively stress free. I look forward to returning and continuing progress.

This turtleback piece was definitely an easy process to talk through with Holger. He is super knowledgeable about Japanese work and has a super solid style. I considered this a rites of passage piece for myself and it was great to get it done by someone this experienced. He deeply understands the story behind his work.

I recommend anyone at all contacting him regarding traditional Japanese work his colours and Tebori work are second to none.

Cece did an amazing job, well & truly exceeded my expectations.
Definitely worth looking up when I back up this way.

Thank you Holger for the great service, the knowledge and expertise! I enjoyed the entire process and was made to feel at ease (it was my first…). I’m very happy with the result and enjoyed the few hours I spent at the Sanctuary.
