And on another note: Mummies/Mommies with tattoos... my 10 year old daughter imagined the tattoo I am getting tomorrow would be smaller. Now that she has realised I am getting my upper arm covered she is upset. I asked her why she is upset and she said "Because I want a normal mummy!".
Heart -broken-.

I've seen partial skulls on Japanese wrecks sunk during WWII, along with various other bones. It's very sobering.
Wow. Is diving your hobby or job?

Small rant- looking on Google image search for women with Japanese sleeve tattoos turns up picture after picture of pouting beauties in which the tattoo is not clearly visible, but oh! look at the sulky/coquettish tattooed lady!
Sigh.

Thank you @Lance much appreciated :) Looking forward to furthering my education!

From the store at the Japanese American National Museum. Shipping will no doubt be expensive to New Zealand but the book is only $20 and it's worth much, much more than that. I really recommend it if you have any interest whatsoever in Japanese tattoos.
USD$20 plus USD$31 in postage for slow mail... If you say it's worth it, I'll believe you :)

First off if you want to look proper then you need to go over onto the chest as well. Which is awesome because that makes the tattoo even tougher.Does that apply to the ladies?

"Bushido"This is the book I originally read about the shading in, I believe.

It's a beautiful book.
Where can I buy it from?

I just ate the most disgusting thing I've ever put in my mouth (and I've eaten camel).
UNREFINED COCOA BEANS.
Just a few flakes gave me an instant headache- my body wanted to reject it instantly, I thought I was allergic for a moment there. Nope- it's just pure evil, and the cursed ghost of it is haunting my digestive tract.

I need to get that book. Thank you @DJDeepFried

Are you talking about wind bars?
I... don't know... *checks google* I believe so. Thank you. The scalloped edges are called something starting with 'm' I believe, heh.
Sorry for my newbieitis!

I read a book the other week that had specific terms for different types of shading but I've forgotten now, and I can't seem to find it online.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm getting a 'large cohesive' koi tattoo on my upper arm this Saturday, and the artist has just sent a sketch through for me to look at. He has stated "shading and colour to your liking".
I want to let him know that I want the shading to be "dark and stripy, with scalloped edges", as they say in Japan. Ok, they don't say that... I don't know the correct terminology. Can someone please help me out? :p

Television (doesn't look as much like one as it should) with "rabbit ears" and the date that the US went totally digital with television and did away with the old analog system!
Wow. New Zealand only went digital a few months ago, heh.

It took me a while to figure out what I wanted but I finally decided a few of my fandoms felt right! :)
Can't stop the signal!

Must be an American made up thing. Forget I brought it up. It's stupid. Reeeeal stupid. It's been brought up on this forum before and I should not have mentioned it because it doesn't deserve it.
I just wondered because I am gay and getting a koi on Saturday and was like whaaaaaaat?!

That's about as ridiculous as that thing about koi fish and being gay.
Come again?

Hello also from West Auckland! Who are you getting tattooed by?
-
Hello! I'm fairly new myself :)

This whole thread is about this topic as well:
Thanks @TrixieFaux and @BrianH for the links. I searched for cultural appropriation and it came up with nada. Apologies for rehashing something already discussed, although I have enjoyed reading the replies :)

Thanks @TrixieFaux and @El Dolmago
I think she'll get over it too. I gave her a big hug and reminded her that she didn't -really- have a normal mummy anyway. She said, "oh, yeah..." Heh. I reassured her that just because I was getting an upper arm tattoo didn't mean I was going to suddenly pick her up from school in a tank top (because that's not what I normally wear).
I also printed out for her the koi design I'm getting and asked her to colour it for me. Now she's really excited and wants to show the tattoo artist her colour choices ;)
