Japanese Koi Tattoo

A very cool summer tattoo, a Koi inside the arm. I really like the contrast that an orange Koi fish and the deep blue water make in a Japanese style tattoo.This sleeve tattoo is off to a good start.

Tattoos and Spirituality

This Tibetan Style skull and lotus flower expresses an old world spirituality, done in black and grey it will have a nice soft look under his arm. When working on an entire sleeve tattoo, I like to work in stages with each stage somewhat finished. This way the collector is not walking around with unfinished work.We all have enough unfinished thing to deal with.
This tribal cross was brought to me to do. The original drawing was a pen ink sketch and I was excited to do it,as you can see it came out cool. This is his first tattoo, a very good choice, don't you think?
