Here is the tattoo I got today. Done by Gunnar from No Happy Ending. I'll post better pics after it heals some. This is fresh...

Tairaku 太楽 · 2008-09-16 00:31:47

Rock ON!

Cool! Gunnar is an awesome artist, good job!

Yungflutes · 2008-09-16 14:17:31

If you look hard, you can see my tattoo.

Namaste, Perry

bamboowind · 2008-12-26 08:21:41

awesome! the color tone of the sha. is just right. I should consider putting one on me....

airin · 2008-12-26 11:45:19

Nice ink Brian!

Kiku Day · 2010-04-18 09:13:17

Wow! More nice tattoos!
One of my shakuhachi students is a tattoo master. He is German. Fantastic mellow guy and he has good ears!

Jeff Cairns · 2010-04-19 01:06:41

Harry and Brian, you wouldn't be allowed into many onsens here with that ink. People get pretty freaked-out by that type of display. Reminds them too much or organized crime.

geni · 2010-04-19 01:14:03

They are part of the shakuhachi mob ;-) I need to get a tattoo too!

Jeff Cairns · 2010-04-19 02:13:41

The thought has crossed my mind, but I like onsen too much.

lowonthetotem · 2010-04-19 09:50:36

and also taboo

Priapus Le Zen M☮nk · 2010-04-19 10:02:09

If you want to really make some extra $ and have time then make the suckers pay. It is illegal to refuse entrance to onsen/sento because of race Tattoo etc a couple of people have sued with great success. Most Japanese are ignorant of the fact or not just they try their luck to satisfy customers or just their xenophobia. So I only had trouble once about it and I clearly expressed I wanted to see the manager get proper contacts etc cauz I would sue them especially because they told me it was because it was associated with crime humm ok so you assume I have criminal ties? This is usually the lame excuse they will give and this can be sued for quite easy.

edosan · 2010-04-19 10:04:19

Gee, Gishin, what a lovely thought!!!

Kiku Day · 2010-04-19 10:23:39

Gishin, I don't recall you posting photos of your tattoos here on the gallery.....

Lorka · 2010-04-19 10:54:11

The Gishin has some serious bad-ass tatoo'ery. If he were dressed as a biker in a dark Quebec alley I would be very nervous

Well when I was looking at some of the pics on this thread it looked like a bunch of guys trying to arouse each other. In any case I feel this was a bot of a showoff which I dislike.

Anyway if you want to see my irezumi show me some booty and I will show you mine maybe

J Ross · 2010-12-24 18:58:22

Well even though my tattoos are not Komuso related,they are Japanese and Chinese related.

Here is the first:

Hiroshige's Owl in a pine tree from 1832 and also the poetry with it:

And finally my tea leaf :

I love tattoos!!

Those are great tattoos Jim! Are they relatively new? Did you get them done locally?

J Ross · 2010-12-25 12:40:18

The owl is recent.The Tea leaf is from a few months back and all the rest I have not shown from ages back.

Here are a few more:

(My Native American Raven from my Flute Circle in Washington State)

(To commemorate my marathons and half marathons as I'm a long distance runner)

My Mahler tattoo:

And my Journey Scarab:

All of my work was done in Portland,Oregon at Pearl District Tattoo by Doug Auld.

BTW.... I have to have part of the tattoo touched up this week and am seriously considering having the Kanji for Shakuhachi added on my arm as I have a small space just perfect for it! I wonder if I should......

Tairaku 太楽 · 2010-12-25 19:24:13

Yes
