About Me:
gemologist/designer, began getting tattoo'd about 1yr ago after a long wait and lots of research(really glad i didn't get that tribal armband in '95). Enjoy family, Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, music, art, horimono/tebori, fishing, drinking, eating and tattoos...
full back in progress by Horitomo at State of Grace in San Jose, CA..........
Now I know what books your talking about. Ive always thought about getting one of those and yea I do find them for around that price range sometimes cheaper. I think the only reason why I havent bought one is becuase im trying to get all 5 of the Horiyoshi III books so far I got 4 so im right there.
thanks man! i live in oakland about 30 min away from san jose... taki and tomo were too much of a wait so i went with a another local guy... trust me i tried SOG haha
I agree with you. I know this is a "tattoo" site but I really am sketch about posting pictures of my work after seeing something like that. It's so aggrevating. Especially to see it ripped off so cheaply. It's like a slap in the face "I don't have any original ideas, and I don't have any money either..."
Yea I might be there too this year...I am in a book that is coming out in Oct. called Bloodwork:sleeves. Its from the guys who did the NSK full coverage a few years ago. They are expecting to release it during the convention. Mike is awesome.. I worked at his shop for a few weeks to help him out until he found an assistant. Grez is supposed to start a piece on me this month but I might have to trade out my time slot still incubating the idea. Have a great day!
