The fifth stage of my Dragon Koi Fish Full Sleeve Tattoo is now completed. Music is Acknowledged in the Credits. The Koi fish is believed to bravely climb the waterfalls and to swim up any stream against the present current. Back in China, an old legend says that any Koi fish that had prosperously climbed the waterfalls at a point on the Yellow River named “Dragon’s Gate”, would be transformed into a Dragon at the top. It is through this legend that the Koi fish became a symbol that stands for Advancement and Strength in the face of Adversity. More to come…
That Koi is nice, love the finish touch to it with all the shading. I also like how it goes from the Koi Fish to Dragon symbolizes aspiration and advancement.
How long did it take to do the whole forearm? and how much did it cost( just the forearm not the whole sleeve)?
Dirt
yean nice tat and i dont mind banging ur girlfriend, hahahaha
Some say cliche, I say timeless and classic. In the end, you get your tattoos for you and you alone, so don’t pay to much mind what others think. Just be sure to go to a quality artist that excels in whatever style you desire.
nice coil fish nice selection on the colour of the coil fish too
hi mate, I added your vid to killersleeves dot com, hope you don’t mind 🙂
Not at all. Asian culture belives that:
Dragon: Has three claws.
Royal Dragon: Has four claws.
Emperor Dragon: Has five claws.
Shit, I dont make the rules. But I did upgrade my Dragon when I got the chance 🙂
All good, what is the direct link?
Just curious, but I’ve got something similar to your’s, except our koi are much different looking.
When you were looking for a design for your dragon, did you just look around, or did the artist draw it up for you?
that is one hell of a sleeve! nice stuff!
i just got a half sleeve done check out my vid the detail in the dragons face is amazing not finished yet tho .. it still needs colour
I communicated with the Artist via email leading up to my Japan visit. I made alterations to convert it from a Koi to a Dragon Koi fish.
Beautiful work
Beautiful tattoo:) Especially like the koi! How much time/money did you put into that, The koi that is!
Plus the Girlfriend is really pretty too. Koi and dragons are classic and beyond/above being trendy. Like blue jeans or Ford Mustangs are to American culture. Popular for a good reason. The tribal tattoos are still valid if done well. It’s too bad greedy people put tattoo art all over everything. People will get burned out on it soon and only the true devotees will stick with it while the masses move on to the next trend.
Kjeoy, that is a question I get a lot yet im still hesitant to do the math of what the total cost so far is 🙂
Bociferousmimi, well said!
