          Thx a lot, guys!  🙂

          Yes - I am very happy about the circumstances, that this brilliant fella lives in my neighborhood.  😃
          … and we have a lot of other excellent and well-known artists in this area too (Buenavistatattooclub; Andy Engel; ... )

          • however, the next "adequate" clothing / shoe store, is not less than 100 km away.  :-\  😉

            ^ that's crazy, but why you need a clothing store if you decorate your busy with such nice tattoos 🙂

            just booked 3 new appointments with my artist…first one in about a month from now, yes!
            now I only need to finalize what to get...also I wonder how "painful" it's going to be, on the ribs 😛

              That's right! ….. and otherwise - Thank God for the many awesome Online-Stores (Although I prefer to try, to feel and dig in the garments, etc.  ^^ ... and I hate the risk of bad fits, custom troubles, ...)

              3 Appointments ... Yeah ... The ink must flowing!  😉
              The ribs are terrible (not only my opinion) .... but anyway - pain goes away and the result is the goal. (resp. "No pain, no gain" ^^)
              My upper body is meanwhile complete and I started with the legs 2 months ago ... The plan is a full suit - till 2015.  🙂

                since discovering IH and their brilliant customer service there's almost only one online store I'm buying from…also the forum is an awesome place to get nice things! can't go shopping in stores anymore...just ain't doing it no more! 🙂

                yeah the ink must flow, but also the money should. so let's wait and see! hope I can get it done in 2 though, not want to miss too much of my sports during the healing process as well!

                and about the ribs, I think of either one big piece or two small ones (right side) that start from the hip and end near the armpit or one big one! still have to make up my mind about it.
                also I want to keep the symmetrie so I'm looking for something similar to get done on the left side as well during the year, but that's still a bit away, though the corner stone has to be well "placed"!

                thinking about using/keeping the "forest" theme for the upper body, since I've started with that owl and all...

                    I'm a massive fan of Horyoshi III , Bushida & 100 Demons are good books to draw tattoo inspiration ..

                    You only live once , if done properly then once is enough

                      There was an exhibition of Horyoshi III's ink drawings in London a few months back which was superb.

                      Stewart Robson @ Frith St does some of the best Japanese-style pieces around IMHO.

                          Horiyoshi is the King! and the Japanese Style my alltime favorite … but unfortunately, I collect to much different styles over the last 20 years ^^  - New School, Modern Trad., Asiatic, etc. ... not easy to bring this all in a functioning symbiosis for a handsome bodysuit.
                          But thankfully, I have a very creative and talented artist and a good background is half the battle.  🙂

                                    That's because you have great taste man.

                                    Ultimate balance of raw power and refinement (kinda like IH) in Japanese tattooing.
