In almost 3 hours my artist (Robert Aalbers, Clean Solid Tattoo, Waalwijk, The Netherlands) hammered in almost al the black !! It had been more than a year since he did the lines. But I hope to finish before the end of the year !
I don't know if you can call it Superstition and i'm not narrow minded or racist, but I personally like when people stay whitin their own culture.
I'm not Japanese so I don't get a koi, and I'm not from New Zealand so no maori for me.
I just want traditional and that's not a matter of taste, while I like all GOOD Tattoos.
My first was in 1997 @ Needle Art Tattoo in Breda, Holland by Tattoo Jan. It was a walk-in, hours long wait, flash off the wall kind of thing.
Since then I got it Re-done by my current artist :p
This really great artist, who has done my arms, while he was still in the land of the dutch, is working @ London.
He's working the Swansea Tattoo Co boot, Check out his talent IG/jellesoos !
And he's also just a OK guy :cool:
