I really, really like that! It’s gonna be a nice piece of work when it’s done! Who’s your artist?

That is going to be one special piece!. I love Japanese work and this is top notch.
Can’t wait to see the end result.

This one is cool! A lot of Koi tats have fat penis looking kois. Yours is well balanced and has a great story to it. I can’t wait to see if finished!

That is absolutely beautiful man. I love the coloring in that and the design overall is fantastic. I’m really into Asian themed designs so this just blows me away. I’ll be working the dragon and octopus on my arm into a sleeve eventually. Overall great work!

Loving the color work, but not understanding the black in the rising sun.

Super nice! Love the bright colors. I’m not such a huge koi fan, but yours looks great!

You planning to go full sleeve with this piece? Be a shame not to with such quality of work. Let your ink hang out thats what I say.
I have a half sleeve started next Friday which will be Hannya mask based with water ,Chrysantham flowers, wind bars waves and some skulls under water should be ace hoping to go full sleeve in time but its not cheap full sleeve I think will be around £1600 but quality doesn’t come cheap.
I have a B+G Koi on my left arm in time I think I will extend to full sleeve adding another Koi.
