After being lazy for long enough, I've uploaded the photos of the finished tattoo. You can read and see photos about the final sitting for my traditional Japanese koi fish tattoo.

Nel – I do have some photos of the finished piece, but I’m lazy and have yet to put them up. I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone called me on this. I’ll post them soon. Thanks for visiting.

Sorry Sam, this tattoo is a custom design. There is no template that Ron (the tattoo artist) was working from. Although the koi fish and cherry blossoms were hand drawn on paper first to ensure a clean design, they didn’t come from a book or anything else. And as far as the waves are concerned, for the most part these were drawn directly on my leg to ensure the best placement.

So to answer your question in short: No, I don’t have a copy of it. This was a custom tattoo. I do appreciate your comment though. I plan on putting some finished picture up soon, so come back and check them out. Later.

Nice ink! ;o)

I’ve got my first one (also a Koi fish) last week. Tomorrow will be the 2nd session, only to do the colours and shadings. ItÂ´s smaller than yours, but it’s the beggining of a Japanese half sleeve.
