For the March 2012 issue of Tattoo Burst, I was interviewed by Keroppi for a full 6 page spread. It was a great talk where we gabbed on about tattoos, irezumi, anime, manga, subculture, and everything in between from our respective countries &#8211; Japan and America. It&#8217;s a great read (in Japanese) if you see it on the stands pick it up and give it a read!<br />
For those requesting tattoo work, please feel free to hit me up via the usual channels on the contact page!</p>

Last year in September, the world famous ballpen virtuoso SHOHEI had his first Osaka art gallery. As a longtime fan, I did my best to bring as many folks as I could to see the exhibit which I was privileged to have in my own backyard. One of those friends was enamored with SHOHEI&#8217;s work and requested the piece as a tattoo design. I don&#8217;t normally tattoo art that is not my own, so I was careful to get in touch with the artist himself who kindly granted permission to tattoo the piece. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/inazumakitty.jpeg" alt="" title="inazumakitty" width="391" height="827" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3173" /></p>
<p>原画はこれです！綺麗な画像をご本人からわざわざ送って頂きました。<br />
Here&#8217;s the original &#8211; a hi-rez version was kindly provided by the artist himself.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/shohei-trace.jpg" alt="" title="shohei trace" width="400" height="299" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3177" /></p>
<p>まず、もう一回トレースして、ステンシルを作成します。細かい絵なので、ある程度大きくしないとニュアンスがつたわらないものです。<br />
First the careful tracing and stenciling. The piece was fairly large in order to reproduce an appropriate level of detail.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/shohei-stencil.jpg" alt="" title="shohei stencil" width="206" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3175" /></p>
<p>場所に合わせて貼ります！<br />
Next we align to the area &#8211; a perfect fit!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/shohei-tattoo.jpg" alt="" title="shohei tattoo" width="467" height="700" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3176" /></p>
<p>そして、結果です！彫るとこんな感じになりました！<br />
And here&#8217;s the result!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/shohei-detail.jpg" alt="" title="shohei detail" width="400" height="600" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3174" /></p>
<p>アップです。SHOHEIさんの作品をもっと見たい人は是非、以下のリンクを確認してください！<br />

<p>先週、CHOP２号店に乱入してくれた、NIKKI SIXXさんです。<br />
真ん中の指に髑髏を入れました。<br />
ニッキーさんイカ娘第３期のOPを歌ったら嬉しいな！</p>
<p>Was gonna post this before the Tokyo event, King of Tattoo.<br />
A certain gentleman whose affection for tattoos is no mystery decided to pay my little workshop a visit.<br />
Naturally, during the course of our session, I tried converting the gentleman to Squid Girl fandom&#8230; I think I had mild success!<br />
I guess I&#8217;ll find out if he ends up singing the opening to season 3 <img src='http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
It was a great session &#8211; hope to see you back in Japan soon!</p>
