Um everyone tolerates pain differently, but I would say it hurts everyone here. It’s managable, but it vibrates your whole arm when on the point of the elbow. Worth the pain though for sure, nothing to be worried about.
Hey, I myself have been studying Japanese tattoo for a while and have been tattooed in the style of tebori by Horiken of Yokohama. Usually when a traditional Japanese tattoo is done it goes by the seasons. In Japan, most tattoos are organized a certain way, a way that many westerners do not know of. For example they would not have a Koi fish with a Serpent because the Japanese see the Snake as a negative or evil being in there folklore. Ive collected a lot of book by Horitaka over the past few years he is the American Apprentice of Horiyoshi III. Check out Jill Bonny AKA Horiyuki and Horitomo at State of Grace tattoo in San Jose, there some of the only true Japanese tattoo artist in America. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have?
Hey, I dont have any Japanese Dragon tattoos yet..probably soon have some hand poked japanese tattoos by horiken….check out Filip Leu, Shige, Horitomo, and of course Horiyoshi, their work is really the best in the world
Thanks, it took about 3 1/2 hours wasn’t to bad. Anybody from California should check him out, he doesnt advertise to much but he is an old school tattoo artist. We own a car dealership and he’ll be doing some airbrushing on cars. If ever in Northern California check him out
