hey jevad, not being a prick here, but imo if you go for japanese irezumi than do it all in a traditional sense and way. do some research on it first.

Its not really artwork but I've always thought these are cool little characters http://www.jun-gifts.com/special…

rabattski - that is my intention

cool. in that case google for suikoden and ukiyo-e. a good book is tattoos of the floating world. and if you're looking for an artist and you have the budget than this is the man: horiyoshi III.

you could search for sumi-e on google

i understand the issue. but i think it's best to have it done in japan by a japanese master. although there are a couple of westerners who have been apprenticed there. such as ed hardy for example (check http://www.tattoocitysf.com/)
anyways, imho i think you have to be japanese to be tattooed in a japanese way. westeners have their own tattoo culture which is totally different than the japanese one. then again, that's my opinion and the one and only reason i have no japanese tattoos.
