Tora-o-Maru. Day One.


Henrik flew up from Falkenberg (southwest of Sweden) in order to start his Irezumi backpiece.
He's young but determined and have chosen to image of Tora-o-Maru and his tiger. An odd design indeed but very powerful. I've based Tora-o-Maru on a woodblock print designed by Utagawa Kunisada. The Tora (tiger) is entirely my own design.
This is what we did in two hours yesterday afternoon. How much can we push in there today? Henrik's got fantastic skin and terrific stamina, so I'll guess we'll be able to get ahead well.

I'll show you more tomorrow.
