Tattoos

Thx guys.
@Chap : Maybe start with a leg sleeve. Or you could do half upper front body and upper arm area. You can still finish the sleeve when you are done working
@chbronsonx : What did you get?

Nice… thought about an Irezumi Style Tattoo a while ago... in my job tattoos are not accepted in visible areas and on the back I have too many small naevus which need to be inspected regularly
I collect books on irezumi. If there is anything particular you fancy let me know and will happily flick through them and send some images.

The colour saturation on that snake is absolutely killer

I got a skull with a snake on the arm, next to a skull/wife from Chriss Dettmer. Man is it complicated to photograph..sorry for the bad pics.
Other arm from Joel Madberg. Photo from the internet, didn't even try to photograph that by myself…
Got a lot more pieces on the legs, chest and belly.

Most of the ones I have are out of print. A good one to start with that should be able to get is Tattoos of the floating world by Takahiro Kitamura, who did my tattoo.

Damn. These are some nice tatts and that's a killer sleeve. How long did it take to get it done?
I started getting tattooed with 17. Got one, which I am not that happy with anynore.
And got into tattoos again with 31. Now, two years later I have 11.
But I am planning on only getting 3 new ones max per year.Seeing this I am already done for 2020 but already have plans and looking forward to 2021.

The sleeve took 11-12 hours. 1 session was 7 hours in Stockholm, 2. session 3,5 hours in Stockholm and one time I met him in Belgium for an hour or so. He's damn fast.
10 Tattoos in 2 years is a good ratio !! I started with 22 and the sleeve was my very first. Then did a lot in the following years but since I have a daughter (4yo) I only do 1-3 a year. I'm 30 now. Just don't have the time to travel around to get tattooed, and the money of course…

Baku by Valerie Vargas, done on my thigh about six weeks ago.
One of my favourite tattooers. She specialises in traditional / neo traditional, so I asked her to do a japanese tattoo. Saw an interview of her a few years ago and she said that she rarely gets a chance to do Japanese tattoos (particularly as her husband is considered one of the UKs best at doing them) so thought I would provide a challenge…..
Difficult to photograph. Done in one four hour session. Stoked with the results.
