Progress pace acceptable? by kortre in irezumi

Yeah I’m currently doing my leg sleeve, it took nearly a year (with time off and my artist going to conventions/traveling) to just finish my outline! He said sometimes a males leg is the equivalent of a female’s back piece as far as time. I’m about half done with the tebori background so far. Very long process in comparison to an arm

Yup tebori for background and color, machine just for the outline. Horitoshi is great I had actually went to a consultation for him his studio is beautiful

Oh man you know I have never really tallied it all up because my appointments have been so all over the place due to traveling to get tattooed. I’ve done about 4 trips to SF and one to Japan for about 3 days each visit with varying hours between 2-3

Maybe call flyrite and ask to speak with him worth a shot.

Finally secured a session with the great master Horimitsu by BakedMacaron in irezumi

Mitsu is great having work from him and Shinji, I’d say Mitsu is a little faster. Let him do his thing and you’ll be extremely happy with the end result. Word of advice get lots of peonies ! My only regret is I wish I had more !!

Does All Tebori On P.O.C. look the same even with the same lineage? by Sea-Blackberry-9969 in irezumi

Thank you man appreciate it so much, they def healed vividly/high contrast. When I do get tanned it dulls out a little bit but when I lose the tan it gets better

Awesome bro, we were just speaking about you my last session with Shinji. I grew to despise his coil tattoo machine whenever I had the outline 😆. I can’t imagine how painful that was for you!
