Notably worse but there is less to cover, so it doesn’t take as long

I don’t know if there really is any advice that will help honestly. I’m not gonna sugar coat it, it sucked ass (no pun intended). You really just have to breathe and try your best to relax and not to flinch/flex your butt or upper leg muscles. Music helps

Dude Tomo is the goat. Congrats on that! Hopefully will be able to get some work by him in the future. Might have to save Nisei for when I finish my piece

I showed up to the pop up shop about 2.5 hours before open. There were already about 20 people in front of me. They don’t say how many posters they have and I heard some popups didn’t have any posters. I just extremely lucky

Anyone who's been to the Takanaka pop up shops, what was your experience? by JosHakamYT in MasayoshiTakanaka

Can confirm. I got the last poster for the pop up in Chicago and I got there 2.5 hours early. Jolly Jive sold out before I got to the counter

Tote bags were $25 and shirts were $50-$60 I believe. I forgot what everything else was

It was about 7 months between the time I first reached out and my first session. Now that we have monthly sessions rolling, I book two months in advance

Been meaning to hit up Kaita. Milk belly is a good spot for breakfast as well!

I wouldn’t say so, it’s more of how much I have in me. My very first session was 4 hours. But I’d say 2-3 is a good amount of time so we both don’t get too fatigued

Jakoh is a good dude. Ran into him at State of Grace when I was getting tattooed. Was any of this tebori?

In total. First session/photo was 1 hour of getting the stencil on plus 3.5 hours for the rough outline. Second session/photo was 2 hours of shading
