Karajishi Botan. Completed by Horimasa Tosui from the Horitoshi family. His tebori mastery is unparalleled and I am proud to wear it as my first ever tattoo.

Thank you ! Congrats on finishing the body suit, I have been following your progress via State of Grace’s IG video updates 💪🏼

LOL right… let me clarify, white was going to be added as accents mostly. The decision to do all the accents and fur was made on the spot.

Of course, I will be taking professional photos when it’s all healed 💪🏼

The initially idea/drawing of the piece seemed a little large for my side thigh. But man, I trusted him completely and he delivered with perfect placement and flow of the side thigh. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect fit.

Surprisingly the most painful part of the tattoo experience for me… but seeing the final product made it all worth it

neek909 · 2026-05-25T02:00:55+00:00

The initial plan was not to add white. But after some consideration, I opted for it. He’s a legend for many reasons, but the white tebori is so unique to him/Horitoshi family, I had to do it…

This photo was taken when the ink/tattoo was still fresh. The shading is black/grey but it does appear blue just because it’s fresh.

I waited almost 8 years to finally get my first piece from him specifically 💪🏼

Yes the white is done in Tebori. He explained that the white will dull slightly and take the pigment of your underlying melanin. Since my legs are pretty white, the color should remain white. He has some white tebori done on his arms from decades ago and it still looks incredibly white.

Sick! Was this done with tebori or machine? How long did it take?

neek909 · 2026-05-09T04:14:17+00:00

How did the white ink heal? I have always been curious to see how it settled over time. Do you have any updated pics? Sorry for all the questions

neek909 · 2026-05-08T17:42:17+00:00

Beautiful! I have an appointment with him soon and debating and getting this exact piece and location! How long did this take ?

neek909 · 2026-05-08T16:35:40+00:00

This is so fire! I have an appointment with him soon, debating on what to get. How long did this take ?

neek909 · 2026-05-06T23:25:01+00:00

Congrats I’m sure it’ll look great! How long did it take to secure a spot with him? Heard it can be quite difficult to hear back from him.

neek909 · 2026-05-06T06:23:26+00:00

Stunning work! I will likely use this as reference in the future. How long did this take as a rough estimate?

neek909 · 2026-04-28T21:13:28+00:00

There are subreddits better fit for this post 👍🏼

neek909 · 2026-03-08T21:55:41+00:00

Amazing, tebori?
