This koi has a home—and now a place on its owner’s skin. 🎏
My client asked me to tattoo a portrait of the actual koi he keeps at home. A personal connection brought to life through my Japanese-inspired neotraditional style.
Selective color, muted greys, and bold lines give this koi fish tattoo its character. Every piece starts with a story. This one happens to swim.
What animal would you turn into a tattoo—and would you choose color, black and grey, or a mix? 👇
