Latest tattoo lowdown.....

[cibo]

have been away for a bit, just realized i didn't post up the finished work from Scott Sylvia...the guy who bailed on this drawing totally lost out! :)

[piccalilli]

So, I recall being asked if I was going to do the other side after I posted my left side's tattoo here some months ago... yes, yes yes, fine, you win; you were right. I couldn't leave it unbalanced.

Discussed it with Horifuji after my last appointment for the left side and I asked him what he would suggest. He suggested Sojobo on the right shoulder to keep the theme consistent. The karasu tengu on the left shoulder would need to be supervised, anyway.

Horifuji at State of Grace in San Jose USA. Outline and details machine, almost all colour tebori. 

Great shop, great people, great experience, great artist. Links to his Instagram posts as the photos are much clearer than what I can do.

And both sides from the front...

Yep. Now you just need to continue on down the torso . . . both sides! ;)

Would it surprise you if I said I have pondered that, @scottyg?

Yeah... "accidentally munewari soshinbori" may end up being my future. If only I could do that without the pain.

[zetroc]

[piccalilli]

Holy shit, @Oiocha, that is a serious Monmon cat piece! I would say it was worth the wait, it will look amazing!

[scottyg]

Thanks guys!  It was a rough weekend, if I'm allowed to over share I got broken up with while I was out there, and woke up today at 6:00am to go get poked by the dentist.  So having Horitomo be so nice and get so much work done was a real pick me up!  He was super excited that I finally came back and he gets to work on both a back piece and a Monmon piece.  Shading is so incredibly easy in comparison to the lines, its almost silly how much easier it is. I hope it stays easy to get shading.

was the shading done by machine or tebori?

[Oiocha]

Machine! Everything so far has been machine.

jesus, sorry man.

but, glad you're making progress!

[Oiocha]

Thanks everyone, I'm okay, just going through the usual stuff that goes with it.  The healing on the tattoo is super fast so I'm pretty happy!  I'm already peeling and itchy so it shouldnt be but a few more days until it gets to start settling in.

Jessie Hopless finished my rose today....

[AtomicMagpye]

Bit raw at the moment - done yesterday along with a couple of praying hands and banners to fill in the rest of the back (can't take a pic of that bit 🙂  ).  Nearly there - probably one more session for completion -
