Hey guys this is my first tattoo. What do you think? I came up with the idea and got the tattooist to draw it up 🙂 I dont know what else will flow with it to make a full sleeve? any ideas?

Congrats on the ink looks good. You came up with the idea of a Koi wow how creative 😉

They are getting very popular carp sleeves, i’d get one but think there are too many out there for my tastes

Noooo lol not the idea of the koi i went to Hong Kong and i really liked them and the meaning, than i put the ocy in there as a theme like bad is chasing the good and its getting away
I have waves and shading on the inside of my arm.

If you want to keep with the Japanese theme, have a look online at traditional Japanese paintings. The style and colours they use could easily match your more modern piece. Or, have a look at some Geisha to go on your forearm.
