A visit to see Kore.

Again, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I so want to get a new custom blog and that’s the reason for the lack of posts. I’ve decided that instead of just having the blog be idle, I may as well keep posting until the new blog arrives.

This post will center around a recent trip to Cincinnati. I have a great friend there named Kore Flatmo. He just so happens to be a world renowned tattoo artist. No joke. His clients fly in from all over the world to get private sessions from him. I used to play chess with Kore before he exploded onto the scene and that’s how I know him. So I was able to get my dear friend Josh Motlong a sitting with Kore. It’s not easy to get work from him, he has an extensive waiting list. Josh jumped in committing to a half sleeve. I documented this process for josh. Attached below are just a few photos from Josh’s 5 hour sitting. The portrait that is connected to this is not of Kore. It’s actually a picture of his apprentice, Rob. I thought is was a great portrait and wanted to post it along with the sitting. Enjoy.
