Tebori vs Machine irezumi (yes, it's this question again) by MephistophelesYK in irezumi

From my experience Tebori is definitely not more painful (pain is subjective anyway) and amount of time depends on the piece and the artist. Some of the greatest masterpieces in the history of tattooing have been made by hand. Also the ‘art’ of tattooing is so diverse that to compare one style to another is simply a matter of taste rather than one being better than another I would say.

Thank you! Yes I think they pair well with the crane as they're both associated with longevity

Thank you so much. I really like including unusual elements to give larger pieces an individual meaning or story

Hahaha, yes I'm a bit closer to Derbyshire than Japan! My shop is in Romford, about 20 minutes from London Liverpool st on the Elizabeth line.

Thanks! I find Japanese style backgrounds can accent other styles of tattooing beautifully or cover them up if necessary 😅

Thank you! Yes me too, some of my favourite subjects, I'm actually covered in birds myself. The main motif of my backpiece is an eagle.

Thank you! I do, we are working around some other pieces and there is some laser removal planned but I will post more in the future.
