              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.

                      Haven't gotten my hands on a copy yet…

                        Do you know if tebori is taking longer than needle machines? And painwise???

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

                                        It makes me sad that none of the artists you speak of is within my reach. I am thinking of getting another piece, art nouveau style. A bit inspired by John Baizley, maybe. Just don't know where to put it and I want somebody that can do it. Maybe Lilli again?!

                                        Also, has anybody experience with an "original" Maori tattoo?

                                          Does anyone know of any good old school americana, Sailor Jerry-style artist? I love that style and need some inspiration for a tat.
