koi joy

another tattoo milestone reached, my first real traditional koi tattoo, andrew came round at twelve and left at about 2 this afternoon and we just got down to work he wanted the fish green like his football team celtic urgh with yellow fins and orange highlights, he also had some cherry blossoms around the fish which you can just about make out on the photo. its not quite finished as he was starting to get a little sore so he needs to come back next week for the fish eye to be coloured and the waves shaded at the back of the fish.
when he booked in yesterday i was so excited about doin this one as ive been waiting for a chance to get really stuck into some traditional tattoo work. hes already planning on carrying the theme up his arm which is great news for me and im sure hell look after this one xx
