Hey I’m posting my back tattoo.

I had the leopard done way back in 2000, the Koi in February 07 then had them merged into one big tattoo December 2007.

I also like the color in the mountains instead of the traditional brown or black+grey, very nice!

Wrapped into each other nicely…..

joe saliendra. he’s the best artist in our country-im from the Philippines…

btw, only the leopard was stenciled in (this was an earlier tattoo) then everything including the koi was done freehand.

You should have the cat outlined or something to make it match. Maybe a little shading..? Lovin’t he Koi!
