Tattoos

[Katsushin]

Just hit SF for a quick trip to drop off some pants at SE for hemming, buy some art books in Japantown and Chinatown, and get this finished.
It goes down much further, but you'll just have to use your imagination…

stunning

but is it ok not to use my imagination?

[rocket]

seriously nice and for the rest I go with Geo's question

btw had a look on your site Katsushi and if I ever get my ass high to let something done, you will be on my list, very impressing !!

Kahlil Rintye at Tattoo City in North Beach.

It was started by my friend Horishow in Tokyo (when I made that 1st trip several years ago to get tattooed is when I got introduced to Japanese clothing companies and their philosophies), but Kahlil is finishing it for me…
The snake keeps going and covers the butt, although we still need to do the black shading around that
Also Riff, note the teaser beard growth update in that pic...

It looks great Katsushin, love the way the colors are done.
Is it a Hannya mask?

I have a pretty large backpiece myself, i'll remind myself to post some pics of it here.

[madmonday]

damn Katsushin, i guess i shouldn't put up a pic of my tramp stamp 

[Giles]

We call that a slag tag…..........

@Mich:

Is it a Hannya mask?

Yup.
(A lot of westerners see it as a devil face, but it is a very old mask from the Japanese Noh plays…and it's a female.)

Got my date for the first tattoo. March 7th. Hope everything turns out nice.

Congrats mate…I'm really surprised what it's going to be in the end 

[Max Power]

Looking at tattoos gone wrong is a bad idea when you're waiting for your first tat.
