Usually black and grey, but feel like most artists who do great irezumi incorporate color in some way

My artist (guy on the right arm) used to work for bang bang.
He said he hated working there.
They don't allow too much artist creative freedom and also their artist are not allowed to do any guest work for any studio. He quit and moved back to Korea

It’s fine to me. My left arm is Japanese my right is just a bunch of random tattoos.
I’m saving my back for a solid piece though.

Dont allow the artists creative freedom? How and why do they do this. Doesnt even make sense, what if thats what the client wants or like…what do they limit. Weird af.

My left full sleeve/chest piece is from Rodrigo like 8 years ago. Still lools as bright and colorful as back then. He works quick af also but is a bit heavy handed. My boy recently got his whole back and arm done by Rodrigo as well last year. Hes great man.

Go for what you envision. I plan for my right sleeve to be the opposite of my left sleeve with a duality piece on my chest. It only needs to make sense to you

Here is my stomach but I am fully covered from waist to collarbone now no spaces. Only thing I haven’t done was my arm pits (too many nerve endings) sternum worse pain sides as well

get it fam! bigger thighs just mean more canvas space.
you planning on banging out the leg sleeve in one day/sitting? i got a 3/4ths leg sleeve done a few years ago and that joint took three separate appointments for a total of ~24 hours. each session took a toll on me. my energy was DONE after each one. i couldn't imagine walking around and doing touristy stuff after

yeah get it dude, no difference than anywhere else imo.
idk the longest I ever sat for a session, maybe like 8 hours with a couple breaks to go to the bar to take shots.

Gonna finish up my sleeve next month. Been ready to start my other arm and already have the concept and ideas of how I want it done. It’s gonna be black/gray realism.
I’ve been following a handful of artist, even my artist now gave me some recommendations and people he knows personally who do that style, but I can’t seem to narrow it down. Is it just me or is it hard to judge black gray realism through pictures? I see a lot of artist either edit and saturate their photos way too much. A fresh tattoo with editing looks way different to when it’s healed.
I feel like a lot of these artists try too hard for the gram and tik toks, so it’s hard to judge their work

Nice. How much was that and how long did it take?
Every time my birthday hits, I always want to get new ink. I am sort of over the sleeve thing and just want little jammers here and there. I guess as I get older, I don't even give a crap what I look like. Just want to still collect tattoos here and there.
