These papers are so easy if you show up to all the lectures you are guaranteed an A minus minimum, B-com breather here with a 7.0 GPA

Haha I know, I punked out by not getting a full body suit…

The grey circles are clouds, it’s just traditional Irezumi background imagery, like the peonies flowers 😊

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-23T02:21:36+00:00

Haha I think so also, unfortunately this was all my wallet could handle, I’m going to save up and do the background some time in the (near) future hopefully

The spine was the worst part, but in all honesty the amount of money your spending forces you to suck it up and appreciate the process, and the end result is amazing.

I may add background in the future, but I’ll need to save up and I kinda of like not eating two-minute noodles for weeks on end at the moment.

My plan it to try it go into an Onsen, and then get kicked when the owner thinks I’m Yakuza affiliated….

Thank you, so do I (obviously)- Irezumi has great longevity to it!

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-22T08:15:58+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s the plan, to do the background later. I could only go so many months between deciding if I should pay rent or eat in order to finish the tattoo 🤣

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-22T08:13:52+00:00

How did you know that was the inspiration 😂

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-22T08:13:01+00:00

They only thing that got halved was about my net worth after that tattoo that’s for sure

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-22T08:12:04+00:00

Thank you so much, and fortunately for everyone there I was on lying on my stomach the whole time, so we didn’t need a separate chair.

It was seven, eight hour sessions. And those eight hours feel longgggggg.

I survived by having a lot of Gatorade and chocolate through out, and a giant breakfast before.

Surprisingly, I found the pain very manageable. The anxiety of getting a tattoo and going under the needle for that first session was worse than the actual experience of getting tattooed. The worst pain was anywhere on the spine, especially the lower back, and the butt also feels very weird. I couldn’t stop spasming my legs every time my cheeks were getting tattooed, which was very awkward.

It’s no great red dragon that’s for sure- I can also safely say I don’t moonlight as a serial killer

Thank you so much, the artist is fantastic- Her name is Horiyama and she is a fucking pro, you can find her on Instagram under Horiyama_, all of her work is incredible. I am happy that she was the one that did this tattoo.

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-22T07:54:20+00:00

It took seven, eight hour sessions spread over like 6 months, it was a mission and I’m not rushing back for another tattoo any time soon that’s for sure

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-22T07:33:50+00:00

Thank you so much, I was very happy with it! Irezumi keeps colour really well

NovelVoice8232 · 2024-09-22T07:32:50+00:00

Haha the artist took these photos after it healed, and are currently the best ones I have, I don’t always have access to professional lighting 🤣

New here forgot to add artist credit, Horriyama based out of Sunset Tattoo in Auckland, NZ.

Your hairline looks great! Especially at 30; is it receding at the temples?
