    Hello all

    I’d like to briefly introduce myself.

    I am obviously here because I have some extensive tattooing. A 3/4 Koi sleeve on my right arm, a 1/2 Geisha sleeve on my left forearm, a Japanese flag on the back of my left arm, and a gun on my hip.

    I am an enormous Howard Stern fan. So Baba Booey to you all.

    I am a Pre Med student, currently in college to achieve a PHD in Radiology.

    My common interests are movies (anything Tarantino), tattoos, Japanese culture, sushi, internet forums, programming, bodybuilding, fashion, luxury cars, and of course, my bride.

    Something I would consider myself an expert in is cellular technology. So if anyone has any questions regarding a smartphone, I would be happy to accept a PM. From free applications, to troubleshooting problems, to general advice on choosing which phone is right for you.

    I’m happy to become a part of this community ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Some of my ink:

    Sorry, I just wanted to add another pic:

    Okay, I’m gonna be frank. Koi are the only imagery as overused as fairies, skulls, and butterflies, and are usually lame as all hell.

    Usually.

    In your case, that is one killer freakin piece of ink man. You choose one helluva good artist!

    Also, has anyone ever told you you look like a serial killer in the face?

    Love. Peace. Metallica.

    Thank you.

    From what I’ve seen myself though, Japanese/Horimono tattoos pretty much all have the same content. Samurai, Dragon, Koi, Cherry Blossoms, Lotus, snakes, etc… Individually, I appreciate the color and detail.

    Although you are correct. It seems that Koi tattoos are starting to go the way of tribal and Kanji. However, I have always wanted one, and knew how popular it was going in to my first installment of it.

    Thanks Mathew. I really appreciate the compliment.

    I think I am a pretty nice guy but when people meet me, after they have talked to me for a while, they usually say they thought I would be some tough guy. I don’t know, I don’t really try to come off that way lol.

    I never get bored looking at them either. I first wanted a Koi sleeve when I was about 16 and waited 4 years to make sure I still wanted it. I’m very happy with it.
