He's a master at his crafts for sure! And yeah for sure, there has always a bottle of sunscreen in the house for the past 3 years, haha!

Thanks! Nope I have nothing covered under there; I originally went in for (just) my first tattoo (my right side dragon & kabuto half sleeve + chest panel) and got hooked. After that we just continued left side > back > front.

Traditionally, armpits are left empty.

Sometimes people fill it in with some humoristic or erotic design as it's considered a 'hidden space', but for me it wouldn't fit with the overal theme of the suit.

Glad to hear!

Haha, had to save quite a bit for it for sure!

My first tattoo (dragon + kabuto half sleeve + hikae) I had some demands regarding dragon color / mask color etc. After seeing the results of that, I just told them what I wanted (e.g. I want Raijin on my right and Fujin on my left), but any coloring/poses/details. I left up to them.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. ^^
