In Japan for sushi and a reunion.

Had a blast in Japan shopping and eating sushi a long with highlights of one of my most memorable day to date with HoriHiro @horihirojapan, Kazumasa @sanrokutattoos , Edgar Hoill and new friends Stone and Shaun! 
Thanks for coming from hundreds of kilometers to meet up! The yearly reunion day is getting more fun each year!
Had a blast with the shellfish, shark heart and fish sperm sashimi, and thanks Edgar Hoill @osokill for all the cigars!

Sampled from the finest sushi reataurants and street stalls in Shibuya, Ueno.


The crew @ueno seafood market!


Kampai with the best saki!!


Edgar Hoill - the cigar man!! @osokill 

How's that for the second bottle of saki!


Shark heart sashimi


Gidadae fish sperm, we felt stronger after this dish, placebo?? Ha!

Horikazu Sensei - A prolific Tattoo Master

Received this amazing book by Martin Hladik in the mail today. Horikazu Sensei was one of most accomplished horishi, a traditional tattoo (Tebori) master for 4 decades. An amazing person and master that @horihiro and I had the honor of meeting at his studio in Akasuka.



Two great masters HoriKazu and HoriHiro  discussing a tattoo.


This image taken by Martin Hladik also in the HORIKAZU book. Here he is explaining a tattoo to us. That was a very special day for us and unfortunately our last meeting.  

Rest in Peace Horikazu Sensei
