Incredible.

This is the first time ive seen this man at work, having read about him countless times.

Amazing.

wow cant wait for 2009 now

The fact that he does it DIRECTLY onto the skin is simply amazing.. Not ONE mistake can happen.. Most people need to draw a design, start over, copy it to the skin and tattoo after that. He just goes right ahead and does it.. INCREDIBLE!

You're right.

Somebody said "a lot of people get full body tatoo just cause they like the way it looks" isn't true.

Having full body tatoo limits your social life in Japan.

The kind of tatoo is symbol of yakuza guys.

People wouldn't see them as "Katagi".

i hope i can save up enought money to get a sleeve by horiyoshi before he retires =/

[Aziaanx]

probably not, yakuza members arent the only ones with full body tattoos now, a lot of people get full body tattoos just cause they like the way it looks

[Ome99]

i am sure these are yakuza guys

[halwil03]

[IAmKingHomey]
