East and West and East... and West.
Surprise visit today from Tokyo Hiro!!
でた〜！東京HIROさんが来日来坂来店！
Not merely a visit, I was honored to do a little pre-gig tattooing as well!
ライブの前、タトゥーを入れる時間を作ってくれた。痛いぃ！…けど嬉しい！
The reddish haze indicates today's work!
Artist's concept of what a submission photo to a tattoo magazine might look like.
It was a real east/west vibe today. Me from the west, and Hiro from the east… but me living in the east and him living in the west… except that in America, LA is the west… and in Japan Osaka is the west and Tokyo is the east… so uh… anyway, it was good to finally meet the man who’d done guest work in Kagoshima, my old stompin’ grounds! And to find out that we had some decade long mutual friends to boot – strange and wonderful coincidences the day long.
(PS – if you haven’t seen the Draven shoes this guy did, hurry up and google it! They’re 5 flavors of sick!)
HIROさんのデザインした靴(Draven)はめっちゃヤバいでぇ！見た事ない人google検索して下さい！
