Heh, welcome from one newbie to another. I am getting a fish as well, but one that seems to be inked far more seldom, so I didn’t even bother trying to FIND a design I liked and am having one done by a “fellow deviant” (DeviantArt member) according to specifications.
Obviously this adds a bit to the cost (unless you know someone who would do it for free) but I think that money is well spent.
Gotta love cut and paste – the answer to all forum idleness.
But to let you in on a secret I always type my sign off manually to remind me that i only do it if I mean it. 😉
Tom,
What style of koi are you going for? I have seen some very modern takes on them and they look great but I still really love the trad style.
You going for colour or black n shade?
Take Care
Matthew
Loving all the comments and involvement in this forum 🙂
Asenath83 – I didn’t even think of having someone design one for me, I liked kind of liked this one I found on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/plaitattoo/2263065196/.
Sherav – I’m not too familiar with the differences in the trad style and the modern style. Can you point me to some sites I can take a look at them? I’m thinking of getting it colored, I have a bit of dark skin though so I want to find out how it would look on my skin.
Oh also do you guys know any places in the LA area that do some quality work? I’m moving to LA next week and want to start trying to find a shop that I can potentially get my tattoo.
Thanks for all your input guys!
