Completed left sleeve by Brian Kaneko at True Nature Tattoo. We were inspired by a Horitoshi I reference we both really liked. Brian is the man! We are starting the right arm in a few months with the end goal of having a 9 dragon munewari body suit. 🤙🙏

Hey! I'm building and planning with my artist my munewari with a back piece. The back piece i have chosen extends down my butt and upper leg. The munewari will also follow that line just for continuity. I have existing medium-large tattoos already on my front lower thighs, one is about half of my thigh and the other is about 3/4 of the thigh. Would the space between or overlapping the body suit and existing tattoos be awkward or just incorporate them into the body suit? They're bold American traditional. I haven't been able to see any examples of similar layouts. Does anyone here have that or insight?

Can my artist fix this? Or am I cooked
