Yeah that other sleeve on seedubs looks good too. Nice lines, should turn out awesome! Is that a coy fish though? Not big on those myself, plus see way to many of those anymore. I have two tribal tats though, so what do I know, lol!

Yeah, it's a koi.....I do agree about there being too many people with them though. Especially women. I doubt they even know the significance of what a koi stands for in Japanese culture.

But, I didn't get it for the fad. I got it because of the meaning behind it, as well as the fact that I'm pretty into asian culture (the old ball and chain is from asia).

And to the OP, when are you getting some color done on it? I'm interested to see how it fills out. Are you going bright, or dull and more realistic?

i'm just keeping it in blacks and grays. i'm not big on the whole color tattoo scene yet. in order for me to get color i'd have to be a tattoo that should be so vivid it HAS to be in color. like one of the artists from the shop i go to has a whole underwater see creature sleeve, with rare colorful fish that would look silly in black and white. but i'll probably go get it filled in in the next month or so provided i have the money to do so.

To OP: I love this idea. And the art is phenominal. It actually made me smile.

But what do you do for a living?

BTW- To whoever was hating, If I was an employer I'd hire the dude with the Dinosaur sleeve over the plain ol' nobody any day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

As for Koi guy: I was gunna make fun of you, but the nread that you know the significance. I won't meddle you with the trivia. It's good work, though. I like the eyes. And Lotus leaves are manly.

My brother's actually a tattoo artist, and for my 18th birthday he said he'd do a tattoo for free. (He'd do it for free anyway, but, it's the thought htat counts) I'm thinking about getting something on my back that stretches around on my ribs [hurts like a *****, I know. But, temporary pain for a life-time of awesomeness] and ALMOST connects at the sternum but doesn't. But I'm not sure. I might just get something simple on my back or something.

Or work out and get Thuglife tat'd across my stomach.

That's going to rock. I like black and grey work. It's classy.

Have you thought about putting in some sepia tones? Just a thought. It makes it end up looking kind of like that redish brown tinge that a black/grey work looks like right after it's done.

Interesting...

For the retards using the excuse of it being 'original'...if I glued 4 *****'s to my forehead, that'd be original, but that doesn't mean it works.

I'm not going to rag on it...but I did have dinosaur wallpaper when I was like 8...true story.
