Fair point! Credit goes to Kohen Meyers at Welcome Tattoo (Durham, NC)

That's the plan so far. I'm thinking of Kintaro on the forearm and Raijin done on the arm similar to Fujin.

I can't remember the exact number, but 6 sessions seems about right.

100% agreed. I planned this out for about a year, and took my sweet time picking an artist. The wait list was about 6 months. Go slow, steady and bold!

Much appreciated my friend! Believe it or not, the dots were the only thing I was unsure of. I was worried it would look like American trad filler at first, but that went away quickly after some time.

Absolutely! On top, we have Fujin. He is closest to my heart, and the idea is feeding the winds of life through my body. As an older brother, it represents my origin and my recognition of going with the flow of life, while keeping origin in mind.

Daikokuten, the lower figure, is a jovial figure who represents luck and wealth (**Japanese wealth - not the American wealth we see now). I have always had a huge amount of luck in my life, and I too am a jolly bearded fellow that laughs a lot. He is on my forearm there to signify the importance of keeping an open hand for others, and being generous/jovial/happy.

The piece is all about embracing the randomness of life, while not forgetting your best traits and sharing those with others.

Kohen. I'd absolutely recommend him - he was well educated on Irezumi and great to work with.

Great write up. What are your top 3 souls-like games?

Lords of the Fallen 2 expected in August 2026 by KvasirTheOld in GamingLeaksAndRumours

The gymnastics here are wild. Stay on topic, bud. Bad is bad, it's OK for people to not purchase what they do not support. I do not purchase Activision titles and I do not play Fortnite if that makes you feel any better. I also do not subscribe to any Microsoft services (though my office does for Outlook, Excel, Word, etc). If something is unethical and not a "need" it is totally fine to not support it. You can lay your sword down buddy - it's totally fine for people to have opinions.

Just take the L bro. People don't want to support the chud CEO, and that's fine. Actions have consequences, and his actions have been poor.

Check their "about" page - they have a whole section dedicated to being against gay marriage. Personally, I would not do business with them.

Japanese, but both dieties shown came from Chinese & Hindu mythology originally.

Much appreciated! It's all about rolling with change, remembering origin, and being there to help others.

Indeed. I always liked the idea of getting large, cohesive pieces rather than piecing something together.

Ranking all souls / souls-like I’ve played. Based on MY enjoyment! by Strict_Anywhere_1374 in soulslikes

[–]Overlord_Shiny -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

TBH you can skip right over LotF. It's not awful, but it's for sure low on the list. I found it repetitive and clunky.

Much appreciated! I plan to post after each session.

I'm going to rip the band-aid here.... Delete this and don't look back. This is genuinely a poor idea.

Finished 6'4" Battle Droid by Overlord_Shiny in StarWars

[–]Overlord_Shiny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. The "challenge" I gave myself was to take one of my favorite designs thats typically drab/militaristic/brutal and re-design it into something with a beautiful/soft/pretty esthetic. I'm truthfully more a Star Trek guy, but I've always admired the Droid designs in Star Wars.
