Hey there ladies and gents, as I'm sure thousands have said in the past I've been a long time lurker of this form. I may have broken a cardinal by posting on current thread prier to indroducing myself. I've had a long term fascination with Japanese culture starting as a younger. My interest has progressed into a deep love for the folklore and art. I've been on the pursuit of what I perceive to be beautiful art on the body. I'm currently living on the left coast but born an raised an hour outside nyc. Now that I'm a part of this community I hope to add what little input I can from time to time and soak up as much as I can.
