Was wondering if anyone knew of any artist specializing in Traditional / Neo Japanese tattoos around D.C. or even the east coast. I'm looking for a full back & sleeves ... Horiyoshi / Horitoshi styles.

Off the top of my head, the 2 I know and would recommend for that much work would be Dave Fox in Philly and Dana Helmuth in Fenwick Island.

Is Brian Bruno still in the area? He does good neo-Japanese stuff.

I like Mike Beckerich - also at King's Avenue. Matt Lukesh in NJ is good also. He doesn't specialize in Japanese stuff, but he does quite a bit of it and he's been doing some really nice stuff imho.

I still think Dana Helmuth is the best in the VA/DC area in Japanese.
