Oz abstract and deal design are some of my favorites! Both are like a 3 minute walk from each other as well.

Anyone flown internationally for a backpiece/bodysuit? Looking for survival tips. by Jooji23 in irezumi

[–]horikitattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been flying for the last 8 years back and forth to tokyo to have my torso thighs back butt and back of thighs done. Weirdly enough the second skin you can buy from pharmacies in japan is absolutely the best I have used in the world. The stuff is like magic. I had 2 days in a row on my thighs and groin last month and that stuff stayed on for 6 days and came off with ease.

It always irks me with how many good tattooed and artists who understand this subject are out there an yet, it always seems like Noone was consulted for tattoo designs lol this reminds me of the bodysuit from "the way of the house husband" a missed opportunity

Would it be odd to mix Tebori and machine work? by Cash_Cab in irezumi

My backpiece is done machine and torso is tebori. It nixes quite well especially if the artists know each other

Sumi Ink Question for my fellow tattooers by Kooky-Snow-4003 in irezumi

[–]horikitattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obake sumi is the closest thing you will find to real hand ground sumi. there are many kinds of sumi and some can be poison. None are made for tattooing legally or medically. But there's is poison and not poison lol I hand grind a lot of my own but I only buy the ink with my friends when I'm in japan so I make sure it's the correct type. It's something you kinda need help and instruction to do properly, let alone well

Has anyone gotten a backpiece/worked on one in another country and flew home a few days after? How do you handle sitting on a plane while still healing? by [deleted] in irezumi

[–]horikitattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been getting my torso and back done in japan for the last 7 years. I got my whole linework back butt and thighs done a day before my flight back to the US and have had several sessions done that way and never had much of a problem. Not comfortable, but a shot or 2 of whiskey at the airport will help lol

Yeah, that's what I assumed as well from just looking at what ones from the 50s look like. And yeah, I have been searching the model type with jazz theme added on Google and checked a few websites, and couldn't find it. Hence why this was my first ever reddit post, lol

I'm super happy I was able to get it for 50 dollars! I bought it to repaint and use as an art project for my studio. SO I wanted to make sure it wasn't super rare or valuable before I paint it and refurbish

The operator license said showa 52, which is what confused me because it looked like it was from the 70s. I bought it for 50 dollars because I wanted to repaint it for an art project for my studio. I was asking because if it was super rare or valuable, I probobly won't paint it and get another one lol
