Shazam!

So, remember when I was all "I wrote this Japanese tattoo artist, and I hope he emails me back." Oh, it happened! This is what I heard:

Hey Kate,
I am HoriToyo's buddy here in Yamanashi. I'm from Atlanta as well. Anyways, he will be in Atlanta sometime this year and we will get in touch with you when we have dates and times. How big were you thinking? A full upper arm may take 8-10 hours? So, just think about exactly what you want and the size and HoriToyo will draw something up for you. Thanks for the interest and good luck with your first tattoo...

Neat, right? This is a sketch I drew in the meantime as an idea. 2013 is coming up Kate.
