Water!

Probably numbering to remember which one that one is! (Not being racist or anything but she(who is holding the baby) probably is not an upstanding citizen that and who lives off the government!)

But animals LOVE having lotion rubbed on them. Soft, non irritated and freshly exfoliated/non ashy lab mice are often happier than the ones in the wild.

Got back on Saturday from my last session on my back from Kore Flatmo. Glad to have this done! The back is no joke... Had an awesome time there as usual and will be back for some cover up work after summer.

Traditional has rules of what goes with what ie Koi with a certain flower. Kwan yin (sp) hands a certain way.
Non traditional is more artistic.
Ed Hardy non-traditional. Horiyoshi 2 traditional.
Sailor Jerry non. Horitoshi 1 traditional (I think).

That looks like a tattoo of the month contender!

I think Tony Nilsson at Blue Arms Tattoo here in Oslo needs to be in this thread

Random check proved fruitful... Marcus Kuhn's - The Gypsy Gentlemen - Home
Paris is up!
I just finished and it's another great episode. There's a pleasant surprise (to say the LEAST) at the end, "On the next episode"... cannot wait!!!

Like @Dhopper said in the original thread to me it's a ratio or matter of degrees
By my eyes traditional Japanese is similar to traditional Americana in that the motifs are very bold and almost simplified , when I see Western influenced Japanese it looks more "busy " . When you look at the older style trad Japanese it is mainly single deity stuff you don't see dragon/tiger sleeves and most often sleeves are sakura and clouds , water with possibly goldfish or even just water or maybe a single Dragon . This may be to tie in with a full body suit as a whole concept , again I'm no expert just my thoughts .
For anyone wanting to see good examples of Traditional Japanese Tattooing there's a nifty series of books put out by the Japanese magazine Tattoo Burst called Nihon Dentou Shisei vol 1,2, and 3 easily identified by their red, black and blue individual colours . The books are in Japanese and beautifully photographed and are normally listed on e-Bay .
Here's some very clear examples of the type of thing I'm alluding to by Japanese Irezumi designer Osen from the 50's and 60's -
