Looking to get a sleeve complete with peonies, cherry blossoms, a single lotus and koi all over wind bars. Any of my OT brethren have a go-to artist around here?

Wind bars will be black and white but I'd like the rest to be in color so looking for someone who can do color and grayscale well. I appreciate any input or suggestions. TIA.

Oh and just so I can be the first one.. trashy.

You need to throw in a neck tat to complete that "don't hire me" look.

Are you Japanese either fully or in part? If not, well then you covered it with your last sentence.

I'd say go with Mandarin instead. The language has a certain ambiguity to it allowing different meanings for the same characters. For instance one sentence could simultaneously say "water is life" and "screw you dad" at the same time.

Nothing better demonstrates the natural harmony and mystic simplicity of Japanese art than a good tattoo

I'm going to ask the obvious question. Why are you doing this?

Like really why are you doing this. A koi doesn't mean anything to you. 20 years from now you're more than likely going to be dissapointed at what an idiot you were 20 years ago. So what's the point? Trying to bag some chick that "likes guys with tattoos"

Not in BR but Cliff at Arsenal in Bryan, TX does some nice Japanese work.





It's been said but don't just walk in find an appointment only custom shop and look at their portfolios and talk to them about what you want if you're not comfortable with the artist go somewhere else. BTW I'm speaking from experience I'm roughly 60% covered

No Jap specialistist in BR that I know of. Look up Randy Muller at Eye Candy in New Orleans. He did mine, and I get compliments daily.

Don't get it in BR. The traditional Japanese that comes out of BR is horrific. Go to Nola.

Randy Mueller or Donn Davis
