3 weeks till my appointment, my first time having something more complicated drawn up for me, so excited and a bit apprehensive to see the design :) 

Should cover most of my lower back, more geometric blackwork and Studio Ghibli movie references.

You'd get more responses if you post in your own thread, but I'll bite. You'll probably need a couple sessions of laser to open up more opportunities for a cover up. Most of it is pretty light, but there's a couple darker spots and a lot of lines. As usual, I recommend a black panther to cover it!

@nikkz ok so i might be in the minority but i love your tattoo

i get it that you could focus on its many issues

but i think its totally interesting - though a bit hard to read

i mean -  i'm not sure what I'm looking at but whatever

i dig it

so my advice is leave it

love it

get another tattoo

maybe one a bit stronger in composition and execution though :)

@Synesthesia - yeap i was thinking about laser & nah i dont like cats :D

@marley mission - thank u. I can do sleeve and it will be "lost at it" but i have no idea what to do near this ..

@DJDeepFried - Yes, its phoenix. Nah im not sure about rework, cuz then i should do other "Japanes" tattoos but i have other idea, cuz on forearm i have other type of tattoo.

Yeah he's up there now. Takes a trip to Oakland about once a month to work at Temple. 

Getting my left elbow ditch done next month. Gonna get a rose with the vine coming up on my bicep to fill up a spot that has been bothering me for some time now.

Not looking forward to healing an elbow in the hottest month of the year ;)

Also a bit nervous since it will be the first tattoo that will be visible when I have rolled up sleeves.

Probably gonna get some more small tattoos at the end of july/august as well

I just booked with Yushi yushi_horikichi on Instagram. He comes to Seattle in about a month. The appointment day that he suggested in August just happened to be my birthday! First time getting tebori and first tattoo since 2012. Beyond excited.

In jittery anticipation waiting for Horitomo to call me saying its my turn.  Could be anytime between July and August, I really wish I knew when.  I put all my other tattoos on hold to save up for the initial start of the back.

8/29 with Todd Noble at Redemption

little bit of a hike so it might become a tattoo / Fenway / overnight man tour type of thing...if I can convince a buddy to join in :)

either way - I'm getting tattooed :)
