Kazuaki Horitomo is a California-based tattoo artist and cat lover. His art illustrations feature the deep Japanese tradition of tebori, a technique of tattooing by hand. But with Horitomo's artwork, the artist and the customer are depicted as cats who want nothing more than to get inked in gorgeous traditional patterns.
