It's sunday morning and after having to deal with the pollution of a city like São Paulo for more than a month without a single drop of rain the air feels fresh again....it's been raining since last night. The tattoo you see on this post was finished last week and Mr.Kyoutaro must now be finally relaxing back in Japan after a 24 hours flight and 1 week of some pain and culture shock.... I first spoke to Mr.Kyoutaro about 2 years ago when he showed up at my place in Tokyo with a picture of SUGI his dog that had recently passed away...the timing couldn't have been worse , my life was upside down and of course the tattoo never happened... We kept in touch , I mean HE kept in touch and next thing I know me and Kyoutaro are having breakfast in my kitchen...and after being away from Tokyo for so long I guess what I most enjoyed about this one was tattooing "in japanese" again... Changing the subject , it's august and speaking to friends all over the world you realize it's that time of the year when everyone is going somewhere....here below the equator we are in the middle of our winter , whatever that means , and I can't stop thinking about places like Thailand and Vietnan...maybe next summer. This year a few days on a road trip around the brazilian country side will do...I'm packed and leaving in a couple of hours.... (more...)
