    hey all.. i really only want one tattoo, and i think i have decided on a sleeve that starts over the shoulder and ends at MAX half of my forearm.

    i wanted:
    -cherry blossoms (on the front of my shoulder) like the kind from a tree? blowing a little bit down.
    – water this is the base of the tat.. a nice “japanese” themed water
    – a koi will be on the outside of the shoulder (i dont know where i want it to end, i’m thinking elbow?)
    – Samisen? i believe its a japenese guitar (i think thats how you spell it) flowing down the water
    – japanese sun, just a small one on the back of the shoulder – nothing big.

    i dont really have a design for it yet, but i’m hoping it turns out…
    problem is i have brown skin.. and i am praying that colour can/will show.
    if it doesnt.. i dont know if itll still have the same impact black&shade..

    Hi
    that tattoo idea sounds lush , it will all depends on how dark your skin is ?
    because colour doesn’t show up to good on some people .

    if you have a picture of your arm hopefully we will be able to give you a better answer about the colours 😉
