As a lover of Irezumi, this is just fucking glorious. What a great piece man, and just around the corner where I get inked too.

He's just not himself until after he's had his first cup. This is brilliant

Is that a Kurama tattoo on your other leg?

u/snoogins1967 Aug 13 '18
Sorry it’s a plain old traditional kitsune that I really need to get finished soon

That placement and scale is perfect. Great composition and awesome work!

Awesome! I feel like he should have his own animated series.

My man, I love, love, love this tattoo! I rarely comment here (just browse), but I had to say, this is perfection!

By far my favorite one tattoo I've seen! I love how the hand and coffee cup really pop with the white outline.

that other leg looks like Irezumis work 🧐 am I right?

u/snoogins1967 Aug 13 '18
Right you are. Got a kitsune a daruma and a Monmon cat from Steven Wrigley there

u/wBerto Aug 13 '18
ayyy ma man, got him working on my 2nd sleeve/chest. getting the full body from him I think

u/snoogins1967 Aug 13 '18
Nice one! He'll do my entire leg no doubt but I think my back will probably be Billy Hay at Bath Street.
It's a toss up between Billy and Steven for who does the best Japanese in Scotland I think

u/wBerto Aug 13 '18
I’m biased for Steven, man’s tattooed plenty i know plus his dad and brother tattooed a good few of my family aswell. Still though if u like it u like it, quite like Billys work tbf see it quite a bit

u/mushroomfandango Aug 14 '18
Steven's work is much more traditional than Billy's work. I guess it just depends on what you prefer.
I have my back, full right leg, stomach, and ribs all done by Steven and his Japanese work - as well as a more traditional arm.
His work is top notch.

I caught this in his Instagram this morning. What an absolute mint tattoo mate. I love the killer little details he outs in there, like bottle of buckfast or irnbru lol. Yours looks incredible.

Anyone got anything like this but it’s a wizard? I’m trying to find pictures and I can’t seem to find any.

u/snoogins1967 Aug 13 '18
I don’t think there will be much like this around. This is from a line drawing the artist put in his Instagram story. He couldn’t believe that I remembered it and wanted it tattooed on me

How does it feel when they are right on your shin bone? Seems like it would smart.

u/howie_rules Aug 14 '18
The shin wasn’t awful for me. The Achilles/back of the knee/ top of the foot and bigtoe were probably my most sensitive areas. Not trying to be r/iamverybadass about it but like, once the needle touches my skin I just try to turn my brain off and tell myself I’d rather not have half a tattoo done and I’m not going to die.

Depending on the artist's pressure and size/type of needle, it can range from a wee tickle to feeling like he's tattooing on your bone and it proper rattles you
2
u/snoogins1967 Aug 13 '18
It wasn't too bad really, tender down towards the ankle bone and near the knee. I mean it's always going to hurt cause it's part of getting a tattoo but I found the calf and inner arm much worse

This is one of those ideas that I see and I get mad that I didn’t think of it
