Well last night i worked on this for about 2 hours but i finally got the koi peice done. Im not sure what else to put in there although i WILL. Hahaha. I think ill add a scroll underneither it with symbols for love and peace. Im not sure what else though help me out, im going for the japanese type of look for that arm. Its gonna be on my left arm/ sholder. From my collar bone area to just where a short sleeve shirt would cover. Anyways heres the pic.
daaaaaaamn. that looks damn nice! very traditional, with a twist almost. your water looks amazing, i could never draw water. you NEED to post a picture after its finished.
that is the coolest damn picture ever dude can i have that tattoo? just kiddin' (well, ya know...sort of )
It looks really great! You could add some differents flowers other than cherry blossom, you could go for one cool lotus, or maple leafs (in the traditional jap style).
Now that is artistry, imo. Have you picked your colours (assuming you have them in mind)? Good job and let us know how the ink goes.
