death of hope

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the shopkeeper came.

He is an old man with a white beard wearing a loose robe, the "Sannokai" emblem on his collar, and wearing wooden clogs.

The old man is in a semi-retired state and spends most of his time in the apartment upstairs. Occasionally he comes downstairs to take a walk in the store.

The apprentices told the master the identity of the visitor, but the old man just snorted and looked at the young man in front of him, looking arrogant and disrespectful.

Che also wanted to ask for help, lowered his attitude, served the old man tea and water, and said auspicious words.

Chen Hong was very unhappy; (As a gang leader, this guy doesn't even know basic etiquette, how dare he be so arrogant to the master's young master!)

·

Within the gang, the old man is called "Seventh Generation Mechao Shihan," and his real name is "Morinaga Queemon"

Just by looking at the word "Daime", you can tell that it's not simple. His master is the legendary tattoo master, the Sixth Generation Eye Sculptor.

Morinaga Queemon was a violent gang member when he was young.

He is the official tattoo artist of the Hero of the Mountain, the boss of the Sannokai New Sapporo branch.

In order to follow in his father's footsteps, Tetsuya Yamayama made a special trip to invite him out of the mountain.

Since you have something to ask for, you can't be arrogant, so Toru put down his posture and respectfully served the old man tea and water.

·

Morinaga Queemon felt that he was proud of himself, nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea and said;

"Even if they don't tell me, I can tell that you are the son of the hero on the mountain, exactly like he was when he was young."

"The reason why I invited the Seventh Generation of the Engraving Master to come out is because you are the best traditional tattoo artist on the planet, bar none."

·

This sentence was just right, and the old man felt happy;

“What’s fashionable now are cartoon tattoos.

Get a tattoo of Spongebob, a tattoo of Garfield, etc. Young people like these gadgets that show their individuality.

In order to let my apprentices learn how to make a living, I also have to teach them these things, which are simple and fast, and have the widest audience...

In New Sapporo, there are less than ten traditional tattoo artists left, and most of them are not enterprising and have neglected their skills.

If I retire, customers will have to go to those bad tattoo artists. Tattoos will last a lifetime, especially those who belong to gangs, and they must not be improvised. "

·

Yama Tetsuya bowed slightly and lowered his head to show respect;

"The Seventh Generation Mekugaku Shohan is a true artist. Even though you are old, you are still practicing and improving your skills. You are a role model for our young people."

The old man was even more happy to be praised, and he no longer pretended to be a master, and smiled;

"Why, young master, did you suddenly decide to get a tattoo?"

"Because of a series of things that happened recently." Cheru also said bluntly;

"I want to imitate my father, follow the tradition, let everyone recognize me, and lead the gang out of trouble."

"That's right. It's time for the younger generation to take responsibility..." The old man nodded;

"I believe that men's tattoos are to show their masculinity, while women's tattoos are mostly to create a chivalrous and free feeling.

Nowadays, cartoon tattoos are popular among the public, pursuing trendy fashion and showing individuality.

The difference between traditional tattoos lies in the endless pursuit of artistic and spiritual beauty.

What part of the body do you want to have tattooed?" "Like my father, I have half a tattoo on my back. "Toru also said: "The pattern of the underworld. "

Morinaga Queemon raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the young master has indeed done his homework."

The so-called "flower back half blade" is a very ancient tattoo method.

The tattoo pattern extends along the curve of the shoulder and connects to the chest, back and arm.

Its main feature is to carry out artistic design according to each part, fit and match the body texture, and the tattoo patterns everywhere are perfectly blended together to form an exquisite painting.

·

"What theme do you want to get tattooed on?"

Che also raised his head: "Nirvana."

"Want to get a phoenix tattoo?"

"Yes."

The old man pondered for a moment and nodded;

"I understand what you are thinking, young master..."

The Phoenix is ​​a mythical fire bird that rises from the ashes and is reborn.

The "Phoenix Nirvana" tattoo theme represents rebirth and determination, and is a common theme in gangster tattoos.

·

"I already have a picture in my mind. Inspiration doesn't come all the time. Strike while the iron is hot and start working now."

Luan Tangzheng tattooed his body and felt a little strange, so he asked, "Don't you need to make a draft?"

"My master never makes drafts!" Afro said proudly;

“The master is driven by his own sense of inspiration and uses the customer’s skin as his canvas.

Roughly determine the form and meaning of the composition, and depict the details according to the body structure. Each work is unique! "

"The Seventh Generation Mekugaku Shohan is worthy of being a master of art!"

Tetsuya praised, took off his clothes and walked towards the equipment;

"Please, Master, I want to become like my father!

Please help me and be reborn in Nirvana! "
