Re: Tattoos

if that wraps all the way around i'd say about 8-12 hours.

Re: Tattoos



thanks guys. yeah i want it to be wrapped around and less blank spots, but with no color. so for $150/h would be close to $1200~1800...</p>

not bad for something FOREVER, eh?

I was thinking of getting an Irezumi (in tokyo no less) of the lotus &amp; the wrench (the same as Faust's avatar) from 'Zen &amp; the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'...as that seems to be the most meaningful to me....unsure exactly where I should put it tho....forearm is the current front-runner.</p>

will post pics if it happens....

Re: Tattoos



I'm holding off for now, as I still have to be in Tokyo for some more months....and there is a taboo against tattoos at some establishments due to their association to Yakuza...so it would make my already foreigner life more restrictive.</p>

I appreciate the follow up =)
