            Amazing. I've always been intrigued with how the artist and the person being tattoo'd come together to create a coherent theme for a sleeve. I've been interested in getting a half-sleeve since I can remember but it's really a big decision to make, one that's dependent not only on the artist's ability but in being able to bring a variety of elements together to create something truly beautiful; something that will age effortlessly.

            Absolutely remarkable, riff.

                          I'll be in Tokyo for a week and I'm toying with the idea of getting inked (again). Who would IH'ers recommend for traditional Japanese designs, small surface, as I only have a 4-5 hour block of time available.

                          Thanks!

                                  That would actually be really cool.

                                            Little bit longer, but nothing crazy.
                                            As for pain, nothing worse than a machine would be.
                                            Most people find it more rythmic and relaxing…
