<p class="MsoNormal">The Irish have always been proud to show their heritage in the form of skin art. The most popular image tends to be a shamrock, or a clover. My client Steve choose to support his roots with another time-honored symbol of the Irish; the harp. Unless you are familiar with the Guinness draft logo, or the Irish in general it may come as a surprise that the image of the harp is the symbol of the Emerald Island. He brought in a photo of a real harp he printed off the internet, but requested I draw it up in a more traditional style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tattoo Artists from Japan and LA guesting at Witch City Ink 2008.</p>
<p>Witch City Ink is truly an International destination each year with friends dropping in from studios from around the world.  Last years Boston Tattoo Convention saw artists HoriRyu and Nene  spending a week with the crew after the convention.  Below are some photos from the event:</p>
<div id="attachment_442" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 385px"><a href="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/guest-artists-2008.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-442 " title="guest-artists-2008" src="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/guest-artists-2008.jpg" alt="Guest Artists HoriRyu and Nene from Japan and LA" width="375" height="560" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Guest Artists HoriRyu and Nene from Japan and LA</p></div>
<p>After hanging out with us all at the BTC last year, Japanese Tattoo artist HoriRyu started a large Japanese dragon on Natans leg.   The initial design began with a  5 hour outline session.</p>
<div id="attachment_473" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 394px"><a href="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/horiryu-natan-dragon-tattoo.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-473  " title="horiryu-natan-dragon-tattoo" src="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/horiryu-natan-dragon-tattoo.jpg" alt="This is what we do for fun!" width="384" height="288" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is what we do for fun!</p></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s a better photo of HoriRyu&#8217;s Dragon  Leg Sleeve outline on N^T^N after the Boston Tattoo Convention.  HoriRyu and Natan will complete the tattoo when Natan works at his studio in Tokyo in 2009.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aya and I traveled to Japan in December 2008 to visit some of the greatest artists to influence modern tattooing.  We were very fortunate to  meet Horiyoshii III, the master tattoo artist of Yokohama, as well as Shige, of Yellow Blaze Tattoo.  Additionally, thanks to our friend Kiyono, we were also able to spend several days studying traditional Japanese tattooing (Tebori) with tattoo master HoriKiyo.  Natan received a traditional tattoo from HoriKiyo, a Bonji character for Fudo Myo.  Fudo Myo is a Buddhist deity who called the &#8220;Immovable One&#8221; because he delivers human beings from temptations.  Below are some images from the trip!</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>

<div id="attachment_478" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 370px"><strong><a href="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/natan-horiyoshii-2008.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-478" title="natan-horiyoshii-2008" src="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/natan-horiyoshii-2008.jpg" alt="Horiyoshii III, Japans foremost tattoo master" width="360" height="270" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Horiyoshii III, Japans foremost tattoo master</p></div>
<p>Shiges work has become some of the most respected and imitated tattoo work in the world in the past few years.  Check out why at <a href="http://www.ne.jp/asahi/tattoo/horiyoshi3/">YellowBlaze.net</a></p>
<div id="attachment_479" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 370px"><strong><a href="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/natan-shige-2008.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-479" title="natan-shige-2008" src="http://witchcityink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/natan-shige-2008.jpg" alt="Shige, Yellow Blaze Tattoo" width="360" height="480" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Shige, Yellow Blaze Tattoo</p></div>
<p>HoriKiyo is a true Horishii, quietly and modestly creating masterpieces while seeking no attention.  It was an honor to receive a tattoo from him and to sit and observe while he worked.  We will definitely be back!</p>
