Hi there, no its not a jap mermaid, looks more italian to me, and your right its faded so I will need to get it touched up. See the thing is I would rather just get random stuff instead of an ocean theme but everyine I’ve mentioned it to has said getting random stuff would look crap..so i startrd doubting it..then I was gonna get the ocean theme and just sacrafice the arm to it..but now I’m back to thinking f++k it let’s just go for random…canny make up my mind hahaha

wow thanks man for the ideas 🙂 i will do a search on japanese waves to see what they look like cool…yeah i was thinking about a coral reef on the wrist area if i was gonna go with the ocean theme…and octupus yeah, on the elbow?…my placements are way out at the mo…only started thinking about this recently ..thanks for your reply
