Japanese Tattoo Questions
Japanese tattooing, or irezumi, uses traditional Japanese images such as koi, dragons, tigers, foo dogs, hannya masks, peonies and cherry blossoms, set against waves, clouds and wind bars. Pieces are often large and flow with the body, like a sleeve or a back piece.
It depends on the size and detail, and a sleeve is usually done over several sittings. Appointments are booked with a cash deposit per day: $100 for 1 to 3 hours, $300 for 4 hours and up. Call the shop at (403) 474-6660 for an estimate on your idea.
