yeah i just dont know how irezumi is used in context so i just said tapping. This will be my first tattoo, what do you mean by my drawing on the wall? anyways thanks for that, i know its so far away, but just curious about the sessions, and stuff if you dont mind
do you live in cali? cuz im in florida trying to see how this will work, meaning how offten are the sessions? it sucks im so anxious and its been like 2wks since i called and it already feels like a month. should i bring him a gift? or just tip him?
srry for all the questions, if done lot of searching on this but not when it gets down to artist stuff

i think in general a gift for the artist is very nice and thoughtful, especially if you know things that they like. a tip is also great. personally, i do both if i can.

good luck, and it sounds like you will have a beautiful tattoo.

that would be sick if it was, dont know why he would do something 2yrs in advance but who knows, i call back in 2wks there. im curious as to what his hawks look like that he draws, i like Horiyoshi III drawings of them.
How many hours do you have in yours?

Just had my first tebori tat by Horiren and Horimyo of Saitama City near Tokyo. NEVER want another machine tat. Itwas so much less painful both before AND after
