Tim Kern, famous tattoo artist from New York City’s Tribulation Tattoo, is in Tokyo this week. He’s doing a gigantic backpiece on a buddy of mine and I stopped Tokyo Hardcore Tattoo to see what kind of progress was being made.

They went hard for 7 hours which is a long time to sit… but getting a huge devil on your back should involve nothing but extreme pain. It’s all part of the game.
I brought my daughter, Erika, to the shop to visit the guys and gals. That’s her with the famous Tokyo Hardcore Tattoo poster girl Asumin. They hit if off really well.
