Just think about it before making any decisions. A Koi is a good start, but look at some other traditional Japanese themes.

There are plenty of designs that would look completely bad ass, and in my opinion, a lot more bad ass than a Koi.

Hell, it doesn’t even have to be Japanese!

A Koi would be alright, very generic though. I see them everywhere.

Just make sure you find an artist who has done solid Kois before, check out his portfolio.

Wow. Truly amazing. I came across some more of his work here. http://bit.ly/gL8ZmO

I don’t want to click that link

Find all of the artists within the distance you are willing to travel for a good tattoo, check out their websites. Review all of their portfolios and find the artist you think can do the best job.

Check out Dmitriy Samohin’s realistic tattoos. His work is astonishing to say the least.

There was a thread about him here,

One stipulation, he lives in Ukraine 😀

a gd drawer might help, someone who could take the pic and design one

Take it into which ever tattoo artist you will go to, they will better know what will work to cover it up than any regular artist. And almost all of the professional tattoo artists are very good artists 🙂

You should have no problem covering that up, imo. I think that the swirls around the butterfly are small enough that it can be done, the only problem is the dark ink. You might have to incorporate the swirls in a design somehow.

I would just start looking for something you would like to get that can incorporate nicely with your butterfly.

I’ll bet the Horrorcore sensation, Baalberith, and this guy are friends

Upload a pic, either you could just have it covered up with a colorful tat, or you may need to go and laser it down a few notches..

With no picture we can’t do much :rolleyes:

Everyone has different tastes, I have pictures up in my album that inspire me and could possibly be some sweet tattoos, but you may not like them..

Search Bing.com for images that may inspire you, or search other members albums.

Zach

100% better from the first one

You could try and turn it into some sort of fire dragon rising from the flames,

I have a lot of pictures in my album that can serve for some inspiration, check them out!

It’s about that time of the month

If you mix white and tan skin, it will look rusty. Yellow and tan skin could turn out brown. It would look alright for the first week of healing, but after that it would go to hell.

Think about the product of mixing the ink with the color of your skin, and that is how it will heal up to be.

I hope that makes sense 😮

Zach

If you want a half sleeve or a sleeve, and completely cover it up, you might need to laser that down a bit.

But I don’t think you should laser it, I think you can add color, and more details in the flames, and surround it with an awesome design to make it look bad ass.

I can’t really suggest any specific design because I’m not sure what you…[Read more]

well isnt the whole point doin what makes you happy ? i asked everyones opinion because everyone here is into tattoos be in the end its still yalls opinion and wont change the fact if im happy with it or not so you can act like an ass about it but in the end i did what i wanted

So you’re happy with it?

You might get lucky and have a tattoo artist that changes per “sit” with larger scale pieces. My artists price was $500 per session, which pretty much means how ever long you can take it or until he thinks it’s safe to stop.

If I had to guess though… I would price it anywhere from $800-1000 for a scale of that size

Hope that helps any

Zach

Thanks, I will definitely have to check those out

Looks good, but what is it?
