your right, japanese style rather than actually japanese. i garuntee that the best oriental tattooist isnt actually oriental, some of the lads from work went to a convention in newcastle not long ago and the best artist there was apparently inuit (a igloo person) and lives in sweden. practices on fresh pig skin. yak. i'm not really arsed about the whole tattoo malarky tbh, i'm too fussy and i would need something relevant that would stay relevant to the grave. not "WOR LASS" on me neck in arld eeenglish, not really a good look in my eyes.
What a choppa. So if a Japenese tattoo artist did you a British Bulldog that would make it Japanese? The tattoo was done for a Danish bloke in a single 10 hr sitting by a top Filipino tattoist (in the Phillipines). Before you make your retarded hole go think before you speak.
now was that tattoo done with western methods or oriental ? bamboo shoots etc ? no, that would just be a shit tattoo. the japs as a whole, have their own tattoing style and indiginous designs etc.. the most indiginous english tatto yer gona get is, as kieran says, wor lasses name down the inside of yer arm in the one olde english font tattooists seem to do.
They call it Irezumi, most of the Yakuza members are covered in it from head to toe. I dont know what was used because i wasnt sitting in the room in the Phillipines when it was done! It a Japanese style tattoo done by a Fillipino tattoo artist. I dont see why thats so complicated for you but nevermind.
searched for Irezumi, loads of good stuff like sayin that like, i saw a waxa graff tattoo before, but i know i'll regret one of them
Whats the siginifigance of the carp to the japanese???, If I was ever to get one it would be something in a japanese style, but my arms are skinny as fuck so I would look a right tit with a sleeve
