I made a test print for colour calibration and I am stuck between two versions- golden lines or black lines?
Which one is gonna be the final print, or maybe a combination of golden for the flowers, black for the tsuru?
Leave a comment below.

Two sessions into the dragon backpiece for Dean. What a trooper! Outlines done by machine, all colour by tebori (japanese hand poke technique).

Books open for August and September to get started on new projects - or to make the dash to finish the one we started a while back? Would be good to close 2023 with a couple of completed sleeves/backs.

What does tebori shading look like? Scabs off after a week of healing, vs fresh on second slide. All done by hand.

German (english below):
Es wird wieder Zeit. Im Mai und Anfang Juni bin ich nach vierjähriger Abwesenheit mal wieder zu Besuch in Deutschland, mit einem der Treffpunkte auf der @tattooartshow_offenburg.
Ich mache gern walk ups für traditionelle japanische Tätowierungen, nehme aber auch gern eine Tagesbuchung für ein etwas grösseres Kunstwerk. Schickt mir ne Direktmessage hier auf Instagram, auf deutsch oder englisch.

A few snippets in time documenting the progress on Joe's sleeve from adding to an older part at the wrist all the way to the tidy-up and finish. I really enjoy work like this, making one big coherent piece that flows with the body.

Finally back into it for @roosingkarl, we started this journey with the dragon koi about 7-8years ago, the daruma side panel was added 4 years or so. Now finishing the colouring on Kanon bosatsu. It's a journey, enjoy!

WE LOVE BLOGGING
Stories, Legends and Myths of Japan
In this blog i will try and share, to the best of my abilities, my knowledge and understanding of japanese myths and legends.
Since most japanese tattoos are traditionally selected from this field to convey protection, strength, stamina, cunning or other traits pertaining to the wearer of the tattoo I figure a basic understanding of the Myths and Legends would be quite advantageous.
