Pez Koi
¿porque son un tema recurrente en mi? me gusta esa idea de que un día, un pez koi, solo uno; logrará nadar contracorriente hasta la parte mas alta de la cascada y ahí se convertirá en un dragón....

top of my sleeve
this is my new tattoo. its a geisha slitting her wrist with a miniature katana sword, with two koi fish coming up at her. there are japanese cherry blossoms all over, a lotus flower on my lower arm, and another flower on my inner bicep. this took about 8hrs to do. its just an outline for now and ill get some color in it later..

Done!
Dec. 1/07 After my 3rd and final session -- approx. 4hours. By Steve Hayes at Electric Tattoo, Edmonton.

tatoo sketch all
the two combined! there will be wind currents moving around the tree for the koi to swim/fly on. plus japanese looking clouds in the background. i forgot to put blossoms on the tree but alas, i think i got the point across. =] i loves it i think in the wood of the tree trunk i have the words "With our thoughts, we make the world." engraved. it is a quote by buddha.
