Hi folks!

[cabertosser]

Have been lurking for a while, many thanks for all of the great discussion on this site.

I'm a relative tattoo virgin (2 small ones i got at 18 yrs old), and now i'm finally getting ready to start some large work. Have been saving my skin and researching / saving funds for years so I can do a large, cohesive piece.

I hope to start within a month or so...will consist of shoki / oni sleeve and a raijin / fujin sleeve, and a crane / tiger backpiece with a waterfall with koi on my butt and hamstrings.

cheers!

Sounds great! Who is going to do them?

Excellent choices! Welcome.

I'm communicating with the student of Master Jess Yen for the Shoki / Oni piece, hopefully to work out trips across the country for those sittings.

I've been planning the rest of the work locally with Rodney Raines in Charlotte.
