this is ammaaaazing! I love the idea behind incorporating life and death with the fish...especially since the Buddhism ideology of resurrection AND the koi fish are both associated with asian culture. very cool

I love how you made this. Its perfect for life and death. I'm amazed that some people can come up with this sort of thing. You really do deserve to be called an artist.

Yeah I don't mind if you use the exact design, some used the fish but they changed it alot and honestly I think it came out bad for them.
As a tattoo artist myself I can give you a few suggestions.
-Make sure its big, this was honestly designed for the upper back or the thigh and does not shrink well.
-Make sure your artist is decent, check his/her books. The last person to get the fish had a hack tattooist and it made me very sad to see the design come out so bad.
-Oh and I'd probably change the yellow on the Koi to something else, throw some black or orange spots in there to mix it up.
Send me pics when you get it done.

This is something like the tattoo design I wanted, but with a bit of tweeking.
I was wondering if you would redraw this, replacing the skeleton fish with another coy then drawing a ying yang in the center.
And if, in fact, you'd do that, I'd want to know how much you'd want.
Thank you for your time. ^^

Yeah I could do that, like 20 bucks for the lines and 40 if you wanted me to color it in. I'm gonna change some stuff around with the koi cause i drew it so long ago.

dramatic variation on a common theme - great idea.
I liked Bubble Koi and Voodoo man too .Quite a range of images here - fun to take it all in .
