My tattoo in Shibuya

Housetek · (#1 (**permalink**))

This was last summer when i added the Kanji to my wings.

Its the kanji for Kazoku meaning family
and the wings are ment to always protect my family and friends

The shop is the center of Shibuya and the tattoo artists is named Ai!
she was very nice and cutte=)

YouTube - Thangs Tattoo

and here are some progression pics of the wings. Approx 14 hours of work
4 for out line and 5 for each wing filled in
and 1 hour for the kanji

Wow. That's an awesome tattoo.

The video looked a little painful, but you're right, the girl appeared to be cute.

thats, very nice, but must have hurt like a b*tch. Do they put some kind of anesthesizing cream before tattooing?

Housetek · (#4 (**permalink**))

nah, its not so bad. you get use to it after a while, cept when they get near the ribs that hurts like hell.

also the kanji hit the bone on my spine so my eyes kept freaking out and shaking after it was done.

the main part of the wings felt good to me, i can deal with that fine, its just the sensitive rib area and spine that gets to me.

in the process of designing 3 new tattoos.

A siloette of a Sakura down my ribs into my abs and V area on the right side.

and 2 Kanji of Loyalty and Honor on my left and right upper arms near the shoulder.

after that im gona research some poems and have them trail off from the Big kanjis.

kinda hard to explain, but im not sure when im gona get it done. im really picky with the designs.

i keep trashing ideas and coming up with new ones

Wow those are amazing wings.. Must have been quite painfull on the top of your back? Really nice though

Are you going to get any more?

WOW!! Very nice tats!! I love how you're putting so much thought into the ones that you're getting...so many people these days get tats for the commercial attractiveness of it. I like the ideas you have going, I'm sure they'll be beautiful! I have five of my own and counting. My next one is going to be my son's name in graphitti on my inner wrist
