i think alot of people missed the fact when i said its two hours or so old in that pic, and the color is bleeding out and making the lines look shaky, there are no start and stop lines as i seen some claim, its fully healed now, and there are no shaky looking lines, and im glad some like it and some dont i asked for critiscism, plus its got alot of a and d on it in the photo as well , i just said its the best i saw, never said it was the best, and im happy with it
Definitely google some images and it should become painfully obvious what some of us are talking about. If you can’t handle criticism, don’t ask for opinions in the first place.
lol how u gonna qoute my post and say ppl are hating? i dont care what others think i was just looking for opinions, and i never once said oh god they dont like it oh no what am i gonna do…..
oh an i never said it was the best, i said it was done right imo, and the best ive seen from searching google etc, i know my boy at absolute ink in murfreesboro isnt the best in the world but im proud of the work he did and wanted to show it.
post a healed pic. i doubt that the healed pic will fix the poor line work and blending. on a positive the colors are vibrant. just being honest also.

here is a nice example of a dragon koi. the very first pic in the gallery.
yea thats uber clean, but also several several hundered dollars too, he charged $250.00 i think for the price he did a awesome job, yea i know there are cleaner examples i just havent seen one till now, all the ones i found had the head mis shapen and not “dragon” like. i like it, thats the important part and everyone has opinions, and i asked for them , so im not offended if there are some dislikes.
Im buddhist so the sleeve is gonna be asian buddhist inspired, im thinking of the eightfold path of buddhism (wheel of law) for my next tattoo and finish off the top of the sleeve with a japanese demon mask and then with the traditional black waves to finish the sleeve, maybe some flowers, like a sleeve i saw on here earlier that was real clean, anyways, thanks
welll buddha has many forms so the traditional happy fat buddha is almost gotten to the point to where its been “commercialized” and i want a less “commercial” sleeve, plus my tattoo artist has a huge buddha on his neck and i like more original ideas, and i know before someone flames me that a dragon koi is a pretty common tattoo as well, just not here in tn lol, the wheel of law is more or less the kinda “symbols” of buddhism that i would rather incorporate into the sleeve, while a buddha tattoo would be cool, its not something i want in the sleeve.
in your opinion its sub par, why not add comments to why u believe its sub par instead of just saying sub par, try and add to the discussion/debate not just random ” its sub par” with no rhyme or reason why, obviously tattoing is a form of art and u dont critisize someones artwork without at least giving a reason why
The finger waves are all over the place, they have no flow to them.
The lines are uneven and all over the place.
The colour becomes muddy when blending with other colours, or just stops abruptly near the linework for no reason at all other than laziness or unconfidence.
The scales’ line work is sometimes uneven, sometimes rigid and pose no purpose in the areas there is no linework for said scales.
The whiskers look like electrocuted worms.
All in all, looks very much like a $250 tattoo.
A sub-par tattoo and definitely not a Koi dragon done right.
