Hi Jeeny
The immediate thoughts that spring to mind are a mixture of a water scene, lillies and lotus flowers.
Other ideas are you could extend the scene with floating blossoms or dragonflies with jewelled wings.
If the floral thing does not appeal you could consider the air (clouds) fire (sun rays or flames) earth (pebbles or stones makred with glyphs or spreading flowing from them or a cherry blossom tree) to complete the sleeve.
Nice Tat!

the cherry blossem tree sounds nice im going to google that. I dont mind the flowerers either. Thanks for the input I was also thinking of how i could incorperate a rising sun into it. I have my appt tomorrow at noon so i need to figure this out.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. It makes me a racist bastard, but asian inspired tattoos look off to me on us white boys.
Still, it’s solid work my man.
Compositionally, I’d have the koi emerging from a pond with lotus flowers, and further down the arm having the blowing cherry blossoms, and maybe that sun you’re after.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
thanks for ur racist remarks jkjk thanks for the input ,another question I have is it really that painful on the elbow ill be fine just curious?
Well, it didn’t tickle, I can tell you that. It was a definite 6 on the tattoo ouchie meter. You’ll feel it, but it’s nothing to worry about. Now the wrist, on the other hand, Jesus titty-fucking Christ. Had my wife not been sitting there staring (see mocking) at me the whole time, I’d a god damn cried right there.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
