Way up on my wishlist
Today is ‘Black Friday’–a clear signal that the holiday season isn’t that far off. This year I’m keeping my wishlist short; all I want is a tattoo of damn near anything from Genko. Seriously, I could look through his website (thanks to Google translate) for hours.

Takami is headed to Germany
From November 17th to December 1st, Takami Horikoshi will be doing a guest spot at Underground Tattoo (AKA PechernInk Shop) in Krauschwitz, Germany.
Usually shops don’t book appointments for guest spots five months in advance, but Takami Horikoshi isn’t your usual tattoo artist.

I dunno about you guys, but I haven’t seen much in the way of the brown-ish red tones used in this tattoo. (But if you have, tell me where I can see more!)

I’m posting this just as a reminder that tattoos are fun. They don’t have to be super serious, nor do they have to be huge.

The hidden gem in Japanese art
I’m starting to see more and more Daruma doll’s in Japanese tattooing, and I’m really excited about it. They’re an extremely interesting subject, and the possibilities of amazing tattoos are endless.

Gakkin at Butterfat Studios
Holy shit, Gakkin has a guest spot at Butterfat Studios in Chicago, IL from July 1 – 31. If you’re in the area and a fan of traditional Japanese work, you’d be a complete idiot not to get tattooed by him. Seriously.

Hello, wolfy
This wolf reminds me of particular Tex Avery cartoon from the 1940′s: Red Hot Riding Hood.
