I recently moved to NYC and i have been really wanting to get a traditionally done Tebori piece. The work needs to be top notch and done by a true hiroshi from japan. i currently have a Koi on the back of my right shoulder and want to add a dragon as a left side piece i think. if anyone knows any good traditional Tebori shops in NYC please tell me, thanks. here is my current tat Image

Shinji's work is far better than Kaz in my opinion, but whatever floats your boat

For a top notch tattoo done by a true Hiroshi artist you are going to have to wait. Finding a top notch artist that accepts you as a client is hard enough to find. A year isnt that long to wait unless your 16.
