    I'll keep the sizes in mind, more research to be done before a purchase though. =^-^=

    That would be an amazing experience!

    LOL as long as your not opposed to a more drawn out and a tad more painful tattoo experience, they wont license you here in the USA for it so it is kinda illegal far as I know as they ay it is "unsanitary"...he taught me how to do it andI been working on it though not on ppl, mainly peaches and the like...it is difficult to learn.

    If you want a cheap "human like" canvas for practicing, if you go to your local butcher, see if they will sell you some pigskin. That's what a few of our tattoo artists started out practicing on.

    About the pain thing, being formerly from that industry, I have done more than enough things that would make the average reader here run in fright

    We're getting a little off topic, but what the heck...

    Is your avatar a picture of your tattoos? If so, if you'd be willing, could you please post a larger photo? They look too impressive to be so small.

    You forgot younger brothers with air-horns

    Pig skin...sounds delightful to have hanging around rofl!
    Any case yeah I have been eying a few straits from a few sources, but havent found any of those strop and razor Dovo's in a set as yet, don't care much to have another brush and all of that so maybe getting the razor and a strop separate would suffice.

    Was thinking a 3" black latigo strop, dunno though what do any of you think on that one? Any recommendations?

    As for my tattoo's I have a "suit" irezumi, I'll see if I can get a pic I have here to show larger. Not often I get pics of them as it is really hard to take them yourself and I don't have big mirrors so lol
