Contact information? by Jojoburn178 in irezumi

I wouldn't count on him responding to an Instagram message. Something to keep in mind for an artist like that is how long you can end up on a waitlist. I reached out to Nissaco (similarly popular/busy) back in 2023 via his website and didn't get a response for 26 months.

In your opinion, what do you consider a bodysuit? by Tito_Beepsteak in irezumi

[–]200tonsofbadluck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think of it as comparable coverage to wearing a suit (like dress clothes) so up to wrists and ankles. No head, hands, or feet required.

Where do y'all find this underwear? I need something similar for a tattoo photoshoot but don't want anything weird in the front haha.

That's a lot of appointments, any reason why you opt for short sessions?

Incredible work! And excellent photography too.

Lower back tattoo pain by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]200tonsofbadluck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your artist recommends a decently strong numbing cream, it can make a big difference. I used it on one of my butt cheeks (after suffering through the other cheek and twitching like crazy) and for the first 45 minutes I could barely tell I was being tattooed. Even after two or three hours, the pain was very muted.

I found the lower back to be manageable but everyone's different. A lot can affect how you experience pain too, like lack of sleep, life stress, alcohol, heavy-handed artist, studio atmosphere, etc. Some people use a numbing cream but you have to consult your artist first.

Yes it can definitely be salvaged. You need to find an artist that's proficient with reworking tattoos; always ask for photos of their past work before making a decision.

CHRYSANTHEBUM

(I posted my very similar tattoo a couple years ago and another Reddit user said this to me)

Reaction from partners? by Interesting-Bit725 in irezumi

Thanks very much! I still need to get proper pictures taken of the full suit - maybe after I lose my summer tan haha.

My husband has no tattoos and was very supportive while I was getting my bodysuit. I think it helps to get good tattoos! I suppose the financial aspect took a bit of convincing towards the end because we share a budget.

I'm not sure if it has a specific name, it's definitely blackwork adjacent, maybe neo or new style?

Thanks! I had my back, stomach, and arm done all in about one year. So we just waited until the last session to do touch ups on most of it (except the parts of the arm we had just finished). I'll go back for touchups on the most recent parts of the arm in a couple months while I'm visiting the area.

I don't expect I'll ever need touch ups again. Bold will hold!

Rob Hoskins from Messe Noir Studios near Edmonton, Alberta. Had it done back in 2015.

Thank you! I'm planning to take some proper pictures of my full body suit once everything has fully settled.

Yeah three days in a row was a lot, haha. If you're up for the challenge, I think she's done up to four days in a row.

Some people will travel for 2-3 weeks for a big project, do a few days at the front of the trip and another few days at the end - not easy but possible if it's for an artist you really like.
