And hide in the wind

Finished tattoo on OT and a key on Ken. I am happy with the result but it is hard to get a good photo. Always a problem without good gear, but this will suffice.

New friends and new artwork

A good friday night out with OT and Karasu. Ot is a tattooist working from his studio close to Harajuku station called Fankadelic, Karasu from her studio in Shibuya. Good Sake, good Beer and Good food was enjoyed.

Then off to Q-bar to meet up with Sasumu and Tetsuo for more drinks. Sasumo san owns and runs Q-bar and both he and Tetsuo have been good company on my trip so far. good dudes.

And a new piece of artwork, titled: Tattoo the World. Enjoy.

build it and they will come

An interesting story surrounds the lead up to the roses and scissors tattoo(the last photo of this post.)
Just as we were about to start the tattoo a runaway Mercedes 4wd careened into the car park outside the shop, completely writing off 5 cars damaging 2 and leaving my car amidst the wake unharmed. unfortunately Gemma's car (the owner of the tattoo) her car was totaled. What a way to start a tattoo and definitely tattoo therapy. She handled it well and i am very happy with the end result.
