It started out with Horiyoshi III, the irezumi (japanes tattoo art) sensei, talking about the history of Japanese tattoing and then his deshi (students), Matti Sedholm (swe) and Alex Reinke (uk) telling us how they got into the art.
Four guys and two girls then showed us their wonderful tattoos and there was a brief explanation on what the story on their bodies was thought to be. Each full body tattoo describes a story, really beautiful and special. The cool thing is that you wont see anything of their tattoos when they put pants and a long sleeved shirt on! :)
The whole thing ended with Horiyoshi actually tattooing one of the girls! Live, in the room! Doing it by hand. Cool! Unfortunately, my camera battery was out of charge, so I couldn't take any pictures or videos of it. Hopefully I'll get some pictures from one of my friends, I'll be sure to post them!
Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Hej Anne!
SvaraRaderaKul att du skrev lite mer om dina utflykter. Jätte häftigt att se hur de tatuerar sig. Trevligt att få se dina vänner. Roligt att se att dina vänner också gör V-tecknet som vi gör i Sverige. Var det Juni du skulle komma hem igen? Sköt om dig och ha det så bra i Japan. Må så gott. Många kramar från din vän Kristina
