Big in Japan

You know how sometimes you go to Japan and you find out that someone put your picture in a book, that you didn't even know about?
No?
Well i do.

Remember that not-so-awesome tattoo event we went to in Osaka we went to last November?*
Well, as it turns out it was a good thing that i did get dressed up for that.
I'd completely forgotten this by the time i wrote the post, but there was this photographer and these artsy people there, with this huge setup, taking pictures of all the participants before opening.
I'd seen them gather people for the shoot and told Allan there was no way i was posing for pictures, me being sick and cranky already, but when they came and asked us real nice, i didn't wanna be a bitch and say no.
So we posed for some pictures (they made us wear these sneakers and everybody was watching...) and when it was over we gave the guy our card, and asked him to send us some of the pictures if he ended up using them for anything.
We never heard from any of them, so i guess a book isn't that big of a deal in their world?
Or, more likely, they just forgot.
In any case, the pictures are nice and there was a copy of the book waiting for us at Inkrat, so it's all good.
And it was nice to see, that some good came from that night.

This is the book of pictures from the event
And there we are!
Here we are again in the new issue of Tattoo Burst (the guy must have had a magical faerie camera or something, because neither one of us looks like an idiot in any of the pictures!)
They even made one of our pictures into a flyer for their art show (which was in our own town too!)

*I just re-read that post.
Boy did i not have a good time or what!
