Mods, please Delete if not appropriate here, my apologies if it’s not.

I am evaluating Deshi candidates for the next couple months. I’m expanding my tattoo family and going deeper into the traditional japanese path and am seeking to
Come into contact with serious dedicated young people based in Australia, preferably NSW, that want to live the Irezumi life, no shortcuts, no hacks, no courses. Commitment to the life. Move to Sydney and be a full time Deshi. 5 years.

Send me a dm or ask me anything here about the program, the journey, what’s involved etc and I will answer honestly and to the point.

Thank you

So I am finishing up my chrysanthemum sleeve from Kevin stress @ enso. I’ve let him take the reins on the design and he suggested the colors below what do you all think would look best?

A powder blue

Vibrant yellow orange

Always appreciate constructive feedback. Done by me (@jalfredf), Oviedo, Spain.

How do you think my sleeve turned out? It’s unfinished. It started of as just a few singular tattos but decided to strong them together. How does it look be honest🤐🫢
Thanks in advance

Balancing out my left side before hitting the right chest. Really excited in the direction this is going….

Done by Wes Holland in ATL. Done over 10 sessions, 40+ hours in 6 months. There is a cover up in there too.

This is my first tattoo, I love the japanese traditional style for years and finally did it. Done by my local tattoo artist [name deleted due to negative reactions].

Curious what could work here.
There is an Odin tattoo on the lower upper arm that needs covering. There is a lot of blank space below on the underneath of the lower arm to use. Plan is a half sleeve on the outer side.
Leaning towards traditional Japanese not strictly. Excluding Oni, Hanya and Tengu.
What subject would work best to fully cover this and flow down into that empty below arm space? Thank you

What would you do differently?

I saw this posted a couple years ago and thought the responses were really interesting. With all the questions asked daily here I thought it would be beneficial to a lot of people.

Been settled for a while, it's hard not to stop and appreciate the little details, got a whole ass dragon in just the hood of a garment...
