And best is to talk to the artist you choose about your cover-up. Because it has to be done custom, so it can work with the existing design and cover it up so you cant tell it is a cover-up :) |

yup. placement is the key .... you use the natural s curves from the arm to help out your design so it flows with the arm and not look like it's just slapped on the arm
before your next koi use some tracing paper and map out the curves on you clients arm/shoulder to give you a rough idea on the shape |

sorry to be a bastard, but i definatly think you should hit the pencil and paper a bit more before you do another koi.
Its not dynamic and has no impact, the body is far too long, the waves and windbars are pretty much black, you have A cherry blossom and A maple, and the head just isnt striking at all...
appologies if that comes off sounding too harsh but i really think this should have been planned out a little better before it was inked |

Are you spending a long time in Japan? If you are looking for a traditional tebori tattoo, it is very slow, so a whole sleve will take a crazy long time.
Here is a list of the studios in Japan that I can think of off the top of my head, hope it hleps you find what you are looking for.
Yellow blaze (Osaka)
three tides (Osaka)
8ball tattoo (Nagoya)
muscle tattoo (Tokyo)
56 tattoo (Tokyo)
chopstick tattoo (Osaka)
Genko (Nagoya ??)
Sabado (Nagoya ??)
Tattoo Horihiro (osaka)
Little King tattoo (Osaka)
Asakusa Horiyasu (Toyko)
InkRat Tattoo (Toyko)
Horizaru Tattoo Art (Tokyo)
Love Peace and Chicken Grease

Hey man, I've travelled a fair bit in Japan and as far as getting tattooed there, it's not that difficult to book some work. Almost all the tattoo shops that I went into had someone who spoke at least broken English. If you are worried about communication, just make sure you have lots of examples of what you want, because pictures speak louder then words. Also, most big North American cities have a japanese association. If you call (or email) them they might help you translate an email message.
What part of Japan are you going to? I was in Toyko and Osaka, and there were tons of shops. If you are in Nagoya you should really look up Horigyn at 8ball tattoo. He is a fantastic tattooer, I would love to get a piece from him! A great way to find an artists is to go on to myspace and look at artists friends. If you look up Horigyn you will find lots of tattooers in Japan, and be able to see their work.

Sorry, but I havent been tattooed in japan. I base my "knowledge" on the fact what Horikitsune (who was the apprentice of Horiyoshi III) says in his website
"Horiyoshi III wants me to inform everybody that he is not taking any more customers any more. His high age and the changed circumstances brought with it does not allow it. He is concentrating on finishing the Tattoos already started. Horiyoshi recommends his students, Horikiku working in the Horiyoshi III Museum Tattooshop in Yokohama, Horitaka for people in the USA, or myself Horikitsune for people in Europe. This is how he would like it to happen in the future. I would like to recommend as great alternative for japanese Tattoos in Europe: Wido, Mick, Filip, Luke, or Shad. Look in the Links to find them. Thank you."
http://www.holyfoxtattoos.de/horiyoshi.html
If you are in Canada, you could consider getting tattooed by Horitaka or Horitomo (www.horitaka.com), or Shinji Horizakura in New York http://www.nyadorned.com/tattoo/artists/shinji/gallery.htm
They all do traditional japanese tattoos. And I would assume if you would ask Horiyoshi III, he would say that it is the craft and respect towards it that is important, not so much from who you get tattooed. So as I said in the topic, if you want to get tattooed by Horiyoshi III, go to Horitaka, Horitomo or Horikitsune :) |

Horiyoshi III isn't taking any new customers. You have to turn to www.horitaka.com or www.holyfoxtattoos.de, since they are his lineage. In other words, they are now Horiyoshi III. |

I plan to make a trip out to Japan some time near future and my dream is to get a sleeve or two done by Horiyoshi III. Can someone detail me on how to progress with this? Or how do you arrange a appointment with him. I heard its six months in advance for a appointment. I was thinking if he is too busy I could get it done by one of his apprentices or even someone from the Horitoshi family or even the many different amazing traditional Japanese artist in Japan. How do I arrange such a thing? Has anyone made a trip out to Japan and got some work done? Enlighten me on as much information possible on the topic. |

So we finally got started at the London convention last Friday after some amazing drawing and a fair few hours of work we got the outline on. He just blew me away with his work over the whole weekend the artistic vision and his ability to work any style to the highest level.

A little late now but you have the London convention every year with the best artist from all over the world. You should also check out the Amsterdam convention. I was chatting with Nico the guy who organises it and they have a huge amount of traditional artists there every year. |

I'm lucky enough to have gotten work from three of the Horis you listed (-Taka, -Tomo and -Masa). The two families have very distinct styles: you'll see much darker background in the Horitoshi family, for example, along with a certain red, dots on rocks, and white-edged peonies.
Nothing but respect for both lineages. |

Arguably two of the more well respected families in Japanese tattooing. Without traveling to Japan, do you prefer Horitoshi apprentices, Horizakura and Horimasa (frequents guest spots and conventions in the U.S.) or Horiyoshi III apprentices, Horitomo and Horitaka? |
