    Hi guys

    I really need some suggestions for what I should put on the inside of my arm to complete my half sleeve.

    I have now an Eagle on my bicep and a Hannya on my shoulder. Obviously the image I would put on the inside of my arm would need to be japanese inspired to keep with the (not so traditional) japanese style of my sleeve.

    I am really stumped at what would go well with what I have now. I know traditionally the japanese won´t put some images with others due to some reasons I don´t fully know.

    I have been thinking about some flowers, they look great and I would love to have some awesome colors in there, but I´m not sure if that is what I really want…

    Here is a picture of what I have now. Any suggestions would be most welcome! 😀

    Hey you guys. I have been thinking if a Koi… more specifically a Dragon Koi, would go well on the inside of my arm? But I´m not sure if it would fit well with the rest of the piece, with the front of the bicep being a bird on a treebranch… But I see some flowers around the Koi which might help blending these two together.

    …………I don´t know!!! I am so torn, I have NO idea what to put there! Help me out guys 😀

    I also though, since the eagle has this yellow color to it, maybe it might be cool to try and make it into a Phoenix… I know that wasn´t the original idea, but with the color, it might work out… we would need to add some flames where possible….

    Dragons and Phoenixes are often depicted in battle, and I think I read somewhere that these two creatures have some kind of connection in oriental mythology, so a dragon vs Phoenix thing might also be the way to go.

    What do you guys think? I really appreciate any input you guys might have 😀

    on the bottom inside of your arm i think i would have another hanya mask facing the other way to the one you have and at the top maybe some kanji and cloudy shading .

    a koi or dragon seems a waste for the inside , you have another arm they could go on 😉
