Oct 24, 2008 - It is my dream to have a horoyoshi piece - how long did you have to wait before you could get some time with the master>

Nov 16, 2008 - Yeah a lot of people are blown away by the fact that he soesn'T do any outlining before he starts - amazing to watch!

kinutakoen89 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - The fact that he is a "master" is really the icing on the cake - there are many great Irezumi artists out there, but there is only one 'Horiyoshii III'

kinutakoen89 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - No joking! lol.

kinutakoen89 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - With Horiyoshi it depends on the introduction as to whether he will work on you or not - lucky for me, he has respect for the person that introduced me so my first session started the following week.

kinutakoen89 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Generally 45mins to 2 hours (depending on how he feels and how much you want to pay).

kinutakoen89 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - It really is something different and something to be appreciated.

kinutakoen89 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Left sleeve is finished and the right sleeve is about half done - I might put together a short vid showing the current status of things.

kinutakoen89 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Although - there are plenty of women getting this done too :-)

FlamingArcher Says:

Nov 27, 2008 - i want to have one of these done eventually, but not full body. Would he only do something around the shoulder blade?I would think it would be painful at first, but you would just focus on something else and it would subside due to your lack of focus on the pain. Am I right?
