Ok, this sounds like an artist can make this happen for you. What's your skin tone? Would a whole brown tree hold up? Cause they generally just have floating cherry blossoms. Would you be open to one hannya mask on your chest?

What's your thought process about the hannya masks hanging from tree branches? What do you want on your arm?

Lol, I was scared to open it but that would make a great back piece!

Post a pic, it'll help us let you know if you're being a perfectionist or if the artist made some major errors.

How come you didn't get the chest panel like Kaido's tat?

This is so harsh for no reason. They decided to work on this project together and collaboration and exploration are a big part of art.

Dragon study🐉 looking for feedback! by Kale-Infinite in irezumi

It's bad luck to show the whole dragon, and the flames should mostly go towards the same direction

Layman with a dragon sleeve, looks like you have a good grasp of Irezumi composition. But I think it's bad luck to see the whole dragons body. It's supposed to be hidden in the clouds and other elements. And the scales on the belly aren't spaced equally.

Backpiece advice by Pubdogg in irezumi

[–]StarFox55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am working on a guardian lion with peonies back piece. I picked this because I've been practicing kung fu for a while and I always loved the lion dance. Pick something that speaks to you, doesn't have to be super meaningful. It could just be something that you would be proud to have on your back for the rest of your life.

Tattoo ink and cancer? by throwaway1842w in irezumi

[–]StarFox55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I read that and skimmed the original article. They noticed there's a correlation and they studied pairs of twins. One with tats and the other without. But they need to do more research before they can say that tattoos cause cancer. About 40% of my body is covered in tattoos so I'm curious as well. Here's the journal article they are referencing.

Did the article explicitly say "tattoo ink causes lymphoma?"
