    Ok, so i have a pretty specific idea for what i want and where, but i fail horribly as an artist and i do need some help with a couple details.

    I want a dragon(european) on my back with its head over my right shoulder. its wings or wing(little detail) to not be attached to it, with a very subtle tribal design to them. i want it to be slightly curled around a sphere or something like that, with two koi circling each other(Deep red, dark blue) like a yin yang sort of setup.

    i mostly only have the thought since i can’t draw. if someone wants me to i could make a rough drawing(very rough). i’m not too sure if it will help tho. i would love some one to help me. thanks

    hi

    for a start i would lose the koi if your having a european fantasy style dragon they don’t really go well with koi fish.
    if its the ying yang effect your after you would be better to have fire and water in the sphere , and unless you are having this tattoo done large i think its too much detail anyways to have anything in the sphere.

    Not the best example but you could use these two smaller style dragons wrapping around the edges of the western dragon in the colours you wanted

    This is not western but you could have a similar style for the ying yang style

    ok, i guess i didn’t quite think the kind of dragon through very well.(it’s great i asked for help) anyway i am very set on my dragon & koi set up but it needs more work than i thought. what if i had the 2 koi circled by the tail of the dragon, not european. think that would look ok?
    do any asian dragons have wings really? cause that would mess up a different part of my design too

    asian dragons are normally designed without wings but in asian culture they are dragons with wings and it takes them 1000’s of years to grow them 😀
    this site is cool and im sure its here i have read about them having wings

    the artist will probably want to decide a lot of this stuff, i think you have a good enough idea of what you want to go in and get him drawing some stuff up for you. they know better than you what looks good and what you may want trust me.
