So yeah, a couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend and I went to a tattoo convention in manchester.
I wasn't actually planning on getting tattooed there, I just thought I'd go check it out. It was a fun day, lots of cool artists, one of them being a japanese guy called Musashi. He used a really old, traditional method of tattooing called tabori, where he basicly takes a metal stick with needles at the end, dips that bitch in ink and pokes the shit out of you.
This intreaged me. Always up for a new experience and curious to how it felt, I knew it was only a matter of time until I found out. :P
I got a japanese sun to go with a tiger I already had, I would have got something more ellaborate/cool if he had the time or I had the money.

Anyway, I happened to find the video on youtube and thought I'd stick it here.
This is actually the first time ive put a video on a blog haha.
You'll have to skip to about 1:30 until you see me, and if you skim through the video you'll see that it zooms in an shows what he's doing better.I'll upload a picture of the finished tattoo if anyone wants to see it.
Pic. Finally.
