digdug Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I have been looking for a Koi fish to get tattooed over my shoulder and down my arm a bit. I want to get one that is predominately black with some reds mixed in, and want it to be swimming downstream. I am at the end of a divorce and this particular symbol represents overcoming adversity. I am of Japanese dissent and this holds very strong meaning to me in ending this chapter of my life. I have looked and looked but haven't been able to find anything I like. My next move is to ask the artist at the shop but I thought I'd check here first. Thanks! ~dig Link to comment
LarsWB Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 If you can't find what you're looking for online or at a book store, ask the artist to draw one up for you. I'm covered with tattoos and have done that many times, with good results. Just make sure you hit up a shop that has ARTISTS, not just TATTOOISTS. Big difference. Good luck! Link to comment
In the Dark Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Do a lot of research into your design. I think John Mayer has one on his shoulder. Link to comment
Mesemene Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 link removed Might give you some ideas to give an artist even if one of them isn't exactly what you want Link to comment
kevin59 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It looks good if you use some grey colors, because it looks good in grey color. Link to comment
asherjones Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Besides tattoo, I am really impressed by your reason and how sorted you are for why you want it. If you have got your tattoo, just show us. Link to comment
