ironchef Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 So today's Father's Day and my dad is celebrating the only way he knows best...by spending the day at the mah-jong parlor. My lady is working so that leaves me with a free day to my own devices to which I decided to mount and hang up the Horitomo cat prints I have accumulated. I love the entire series and the various ones that are not in print but posted on Horitomo's Instagram. Patiently waiting for more prints to come out and the much rumored book that collects all of the various tattoo cat incarnations. Hopefully one day I make it out to the west coast to get a tattoo cat from him...would be an awesome experience.

Pleadco Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hah, those are sweet. My little companion of sixteen years just went to the big litter box in the sky. I have been considering a cool tattoo to honor the little beast. ironchef, idyllsend, Delicious and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3886-horitomo-tattoo-cat-prints/#findComment-67951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've collected the same prints too and have been thinking how I can go about framing all my prints without making my place too cluttered up next to some existing ones.

Pugilist Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This looks SO GREAT and we want to do the same thing in our new apartment!

el twe Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That sole empty spot must be killing you I think it's awesome, gives it a very "...to be continued" feel! Also, hell of a print collection.

ironchef Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 @Lance @el twe : Definitely too be continued and I patiently wait for the next batch of prints to be available. Honestly wish some of Horitomo's earlier tattoo cats were available as prints. I loved the ones with the dragons and the rats! Thanks @Pugilist ! I can't think of a better way to christen a new apartment then by hanging up some tattoo cats! I'm saving a spot on my wall for a future @Graeme cat print!

DJDeepFried Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Beautiful. But weren't there only two series of four? Where'd the other two come from?

ironchef Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Beautiful. But weren't there only two series of four? Where'd the other two come from? The top row of three prints are available from Tattoo Elite International. Then the remainder comprise of the two limited print runs consisting of four prints per set.

suburbanxcore Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I wish I'd been lurking/paying attention earlier. My wife is pretty bummed she can't get her hands on those prints. Haha. Hopefully I'll be able to get one of the books for her!
