Christoffer has been with me for a while now, being one of the first to become a client of mine after I moved to Umeå about five years ago. The subject matter of his tattoo-in-the-making has always centered around Shinto, adressing characters and deities like Amaterasu,the sun godess, and her brother Susan-no. On his leg I am working on a nine tailed white fox and today we started a new piece on his left side depicting Empress Jingu on horseback.
For being a young man Christoffer’s wearing a lot of strong females which makes for an interesting piece of Irezumi.
