    I currently have a lotus on my wrist and a large koi on the front of my forearm. (will post pix when I get to PC)
    I al looking for ideas to finish it out but its kinda hard seeing as I like so many different styles. I am looking to do bright colors and was thinking about a samurai mask but need some input on what you guys might recommend to fit with what I already got.

    Asking people what you should get isnt a good idea. Just look at lots of pictures of Japanese sleeves.

    Check out old, authentic japanese art. May pick up a few ideas you haven’t thought of before.

    There is one thing that goes really well with Koi and that is more koi. The key to aesthetic Japanese beauty is composition, you have a Koi and Lotus, then make the theme Koi and Lotus. You have plenty of other skin for other themes or things you like.

    If you are not keen on the Koi, then how about another Auspicious animal? If you like traditional images then a Minogame (turtle) could work well. A Buddhist deity is also another option like Kannon.

    Some of the best inspiration comes from pulling up the flora and fauna of the places you’re in love with.
