Garyou Tensei refers to the final dot of ink that the Japanese believe brings life to a drawing; for a dragon, the finishing touch is its eye. This book contains a series of 108 hand-painted, traditional Japanese kaina, Japanese short-sleeve tattoo designs applied to the upper left and right arms. All of the designs in this volume are by the young tattoo artist Yushi 'Horikichi' Takei.
