No, I don't have personal experience with him, unfortunately. I wanted to get some work done by him, but I was discouraged by the waiting list. That was when I was younger so I didn't know better =[. If it was now, then I would've waited for sure....
I meant whether Josh had any personal experience. I'm not discouraged by the wait and agree that waits are worthwhile if you really want it. I waited 5 months to start up my current 1/2 sleeve and got in one session, then had to wait 6 more months...
i do not know from personal experience. although i love his work, i don't think his style is exactly what i want for my tattoos. my hubby is planning on getting tattooed by him at an upcoming convention though.
also, i get tattooed by some artist...
I don't know anyone who has been tattooed by him, but he's at the top of my list of artists to be tattooed by. The wait is to be expected with someone as good as him.
Agreed; by the way do you know from personal experience with Horiyen (or perhaps you looked into getting tattooed by him but were discouraged by the long wait?)?
depending on how long the session is that is not a bad deal.
All I know is that he has over 2 years of waiting list. and if I remember correctly, he charges $1000 per session to outline and i think it was $800 per session for shading. I might be a little off though. He has a studio in Alhambra. You should c...
I came across Aaron Della Vedova at the San Jose Convention. I liked his stuff. Here's a link:

It was. Got to speak with Taki briefly; watched Shige, Henning Jorgensen, Mike Rubendall, and Horiyen doing what they do best. How's your work coming along -- been a while since we've seen some new pics.
Thanks; I've checked our Jiro previously -- both he and jakko are incredible artists (I'm going to enjoy watching your back piece unfold). That said, I'm still more interested in learning more about Horiyen.
i've seen some of his work. It's pretty good but if you're in los angeles and want japanese tattoo you might want to check out jiro yaguchi or jakko at onizuka tattoo in little tokyo. they both were born and trained in japan. jiro did the tiger on...
Do you know anyone who has been inked by Horiyen ( Jess Yen ). I wanted to see if I could get any information about getting in to see him, etc. Thanks
Would've been nice to have bumped into you, Tracy.
Yes, I felt lucky to find him (for me it was the "discovery" of a new artist [although I know he's known to many fans]). Spoke with Horitaka briefly
I also got to watch Shige at work -- of what I...
I met Jess Yen today at the San Jose Convention -- very impressed with his work.
The koi will be blacks and greys, leaves green and flowers probably reds, oranges and yellows (My artist is in London so I've been waiting to finish since June [thankfully we're scheduled to finish in December when she comes stateside for a visit]...

porky said… - Cheers .......i think Jay (Parker, skin illustrations) has got the proportion just about right, we have changed a few things, the wooden beam made sense as the stone on the original just doesn't transfer to the skin right. The lions head is going to be gold just to bring a burst of colour the rest will be close to the original......next i'm seriously considering a pair of golden foo dogs to frame it on both sides going on to my ribs ;-)

I got a call from the shop in London the other day telling me Jamie isnt coming back for longer so my appointment has gone from 11th July to 1st August :( Also it is at another shop which im guessing is going to be Nikoles shop, its called Good Times.
