[emrd5]

[girlsruleboysdrule09]

[shaunosullivan111]

that is a mean looking fish!

[MrTREYGOMYEGGO]

when im an old man my grandchildren can unfold me and look at all the pretty pictures.

[ScaldingHail666]

He couldve gotten a manlier animal like a wolf or some shit

[pojo205]

@ScaldingHail666

what is more manlier than a fuckin' dragon? his tattoo is awesome.

[danfrost313]

@pojo205 *More manly

Or, *Manlier.

Not both, derp.

[RainbowSeizures]

@ScaldingHail666 If he was gay maybe. Koi dragon is badass, I own a wolf and I even think wolf tattoos are horrible.

[SachikoKazumi]

koi are meant to be going downwards >.>

[Yokizuu]

@SachikoKazumi I think it´s upwards, because they say that the koi-fish ''climb'' the yellow river or something and then they become dragons :D

[Yokizuu]

@SachikoKazumi We both were wrong O.o

If the koi is swiming upwards, it means that you´re going through something tough. And if it´s swiming downwards, you´ve just defeated an obsacle or similar ^^

[prodimid]

i'm also going for a koi dragon i think. it's either that or just the koi. i will take it when i achieve a certain goal so i still have a couple o years to think. i like how the dragon head shows the transformation alrdy. it's gnna be on my calf in black n gray with maybe a bit of colour in it. some red scales would be cool in contrast with black i think.

[djdan151]

Ami's seems like a good bloke

[DineRida]

as a tattoo artist. i would feel really good tattooin this guy

[ThousandRoseBurial]

Badass Tatoo!!!!!

[jazza699]

you don't need a tattoo in order to keep a memory with you forever, do a fucken artwork or something else, why put ink under your skin, when your 60 and wrinkly tattoes will look so stupid

[DaG8keepa30]

@jazza699 its not on your body, why do you care what other people got?

[sweetdulce1]

my pin :328475ed hit me up

[thegr8pulido]

I disliked for the guy's gay goal of walking from having too much buttsex with tattoo artists to get that tattoo haahaha!!

[nonemoreblack21]

why do a lot of people think ami's work sucks. hes a very talented artist. great work

[MissKarma666]

Such an inspirational man.

[TheDawsonscreekfan]

Fuck i want a koi fish tatoo so bad.

[dragonquest20]

tatoo is percing ist good for me!!

[YounggJewelz]

i want a Bruce lee Tattoo, except i want bruce lee naked, and then a 8 inch boner and the tip of his dick looking like Jackie Chan ..

can i say no homo now ? (;

[LeaAllison88]

OMG you're all retarded.. A hospital would never take someone outside to do anything...Even getting a tattoo..Very unrealistic.

[sammehcyanide]

@LeaAllison88 theyve done it before, hahaha

[linusro93]

who clicked the dislike button?... Thats such a douche move.. 

[Camdentown100]

This Ami is fucking jewish animal.

GREETINGS FROM POLAND!

[playmymusic96]

wait... do you not do outline and shading all in the same day??

[blakerook]

@playmymusic96 It depends on the size of the tattoo. Something like this would definitely have to be broken up into two or more sessions

[KotstullePawns]

Miami ink was real and about tattoos and art, but fuckin la ink is about some whiny loosers which fight about a even more whiny blonde.

[cricketbat08]

I hope the guy is doing well. Cool tattoo!!

[GeorgyFran]

This man is very strong-minded. His tatoo is good for this skill.

[C00chieSmash]

cool that hes so optimistic bout the situation

[Rachirure]

Hearing Koi Dragon, I thought it would be something dumb looking. But, that tattoo is pretty bad ass. =O

[SheynaVVV]

What a gorgeous tattoo!!!

[xopenheartx]

what an admirable guy.

[HelloImQuin]

[DooNisH]

independent skate label

[dushikorsou1]

[BassistsDoItBetterr]

Damn that's some nice coloring. I wanna go there to get my old school mom tattoo.

And experiment, but reply to this comment with the age you got your first done.

[youngbg16]

i got my first tat when i was fifteen almost 2 yrs. ago

[hauntingrequiems]

I just got my first one, and I'm 23. Lack of funds, you know. (and yes, bassists really DO do it better.)

[jackmcl123]

the owner of the hsop is a right prick and a left fanny

[awshot]

when i get my tattoo, i want it done with them... theyre really cool artists

[z3r006]

They overcharge crzy though

[tortugatuerta]

[Takeshiii]

[1337mikev]

damn i miss this show. it was about the tattoos. not the bullshit like la ink.

[Doodlebuggie95]

@1337mikev I totally agree with you . I can't stand la ink . It's more of a drama show than a tattoo show .

[Vengeanceisourpassio]

@1337mikev what happend to the show?

[hellsxrebellion]

@1337mikev i totally get where youre coming from

[4EverNaturalLover]

@1337mikev what happen to this show?

[icarrus4u]

[RIPturrettsguy]

[Punkgirl4ever4]

[Ki0Ki0Rawr0]

Everyone look up and watch A Nelena Story: I'm In Love with a Vampire Ep.1 and watch the other episodes too

[KayakoxSaeki]

Does it hurt..?

'Cause, i want a tattoo too.

[aronkarmusic]

Where do you want yours?

It hurts more or less on some parts of the body

[xxxhelsbellsxxx]

yeah it hurts, different places are so bad, like thigh, but places like back are sore.

but trust me. its SOOOOO worth it :)

what u wanting done??

[nicolesamsonite]

omg thigh hurts?? im getting one on my thigh....wtf i thought it would be less painful

[xxxhelsbellsxxx]

@nicolesamsonite

AAAHHHH sorry hun, clearly i cant type, i meant to say "different places arent so bad, like thigh."

my thigh didnt hurt, its just like a scratching feeling. nothing to worry about :) enjoy!

[nicolesamsonite]

oh ha ha sweet then

[Milkbottlekid]

Pretty amazing. :|

[antonraphael70]

Koi Dragon explained:

The Koi fish in Japanese folklore represents the overcoming of obstacles. As the Koi travels up the yellow river it shows it is dedicated and strong enough to swim all the way to the head of the river, known as "The Dragon Gate" and leaps from the water, begining it's transformation into a Dragon. Mid leap, it becomes a Koi-dragon, prior to becoming a full fledged dragon, thus overcoming the adversity represented by the strong river to fufill its own destiny.

[schoolsucks301990]

you are fucking well sad mate time to grow up i think tattoos have become less and less frowned upon why dont put out your candle and take a step into the 21st century "god do something for society" dam it still makes me laugh looking at your comment

[Thrasher51590]

No, I'm not judging you, just giving you some friendly advice. :) That's all. Just re-read my message again, and maybe you'll understand. No one has the right to judge anyone, good or bad, because it is not our lives, it's their's. We may not agree with what they do, but the decision is their's alone in the end.

[Thrasher51590]

"Judge not and be not judged..." Don't judge others, unless you want them to judge you.

[netsy17]

its to inspire him and remind him to be able to walk again, haters.. unbelievable.

Tattoos=art

[deearchenemy]

wow to put that on a tattoo video is the dumbest thing ive ever seen. Your folowing a trend yourself by even writting that you know that? Its still a trend to be non-conformist you know. Cause it has to come from an idea of one person and seeing as there is more than one person saying there non-conformist id say it maybe isnt so original

[KissableKiwi]

I just don't get why someone who hates tattoos so much is watching tattoo videos... i mean you knew what the video was about when you clicked on it so stop hating on people and go do something else i mean why do you care what people do to their own bodies

[bellefemme10]

So you mean to say that you have NEVER followed a trend? That in itself is following a different trend.

everyone is unique - it doesnt matter what they wear or put on display. Its experiences in life that make the individual.

[ronhudsonjr]

some tattoos are garbage, and some people are following trends, just getting cliche tattoos.

but if someone gets a meaningful tattoo, that is well done, how can you say its trash? what makes you an authority on the subject

[ronhudsonjr]

art is subjective. if you dont like it, that doesnt mean its trash. ignoramus

[hardstylenicka1234]

thats maddd, im 15 got my 1st tat 3 weeks ago

love everything about them

[10404e43]

WOW man thats fucking Nicee !

[nikkilovesjrock09]

wicked tattoo, love it!!!

[theartsychik]

GORGEOUS!!!

[GinnyPolach217]

thats a fucking amazing tattoo

[Kevvo4444]

I got my first tattoo when I was 26 yrs old I'm 51 now and I'm not going to stop having more just because I'm worried about what I will look like when I'm 60.I'd love to go to Miami and get one from Garver.

[colombianapeleona]

best of miami ink tattoos in the world a greeting from Colombia for all, amy, chris, Garver jojy, kat, son lo mejor cuidense darren a kiss and a hug I am a loyal fan of you bye aki in Colombia

[dickies1922x]

It really pisses me off when people say what about when your 60, who gives a fuck, ill be 60 years old the least thing on my mind will be my tattoos. people who say that really want one but are to afraid to get one

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I am fed up of seeing the seem fuckin tats over and over. Why can't anyone think of something diffirent??

[chrislpurdy]

do you even know the meaning of the koi fish?

theres a reason its popular

[followhertrailoflies]

koi fish are popular tattoos because they symbolize strength, and a new beginning. its also good luck to them them swimming upstream.

i highly doubt you see the same tats over and over. you might seem the same design, but just as how we are all humans beings, we are all different and unique in our own way... its the same with tattoos. they most likely have a different meaning to each owner, and a different reason for them putting it on their body, even if it might be the same design.

[Sullzy]

Im only really adding to what you've already said.

In the Asian culture Koi Fish swimming upstream at the yellow river represents them swimming up to the Dragons Gate where mythology says they would become Dragons.

In this case the Koi represents its own strength and determination to overcome obstacles to reach its goal of becoming something more.

Which in all fairness relates very much to this guys situation.

[iCrucified]

Auch someone forgot to take his medicine today.

Tattoo looks nice although it's more of a koi fish shark than a dragon if you ask me

[DaveyMK]

Dude, just live your life, you don't need to comment your statements on a tatto video.

If you don't like it don't watch it.

[ayakashy]

the tattoos look great but how about when you grow old?

[najche93]

then they will be there as something you adored when u were younger

[maquahuitl]

my grandpa has one in his arm, he looks cool... and hes around 90's years old.

[RE4boyo]

but doesn't it look bad instead of how it looked when he was 20-35?

[Kuechenkraft]

i dont want to destroy your understanding of the world, but all of us wont look good at the age of sixty. so fuck off and do what you like, as long as you're sure, that you'll stand in for the message of the tattoo for your lifetime:)

[TheGreenerItGets]

Word.

[connierogal]

Well duuuuuuh everything about a person looks better when you 20-35 opose to 90!!

idiot

[antonraphael70]

His point was about people that moan about how it will look in years to come Mr Sarcasm.

[szymoc]

thats cool

[zuzaci]

why does it matter that you get old someday for having tattoos? i mean your skin will be flabby and wrinkled anyway so it doesn't matter if it is with or without a tattoo, it will never look really good. but now it will.

[Sullzy]

Your going to look back and think "Now why didnt i do the things in life i always wanted, rather than end up her regretting that i never did."

To be quite honest, everyone says "You'll regret it when your older" but to be fucking honest ive never met many elderly people with an ounce of vanity left to give a shit.

You can regret having it done, but thats your fault for picking a shit design, you can also regret never having tried it and living on the, "WHAT IF?"

[iiiUntouchable]

good words

[modemwoody]

I like ur attitude

[Katharsis540]

lol double edge but that is if u put a shit design or without a meaning 2 it or both then i suppose u enter that stage/mode

[stevek84]

Sullzy, *thumps chest* true that!!

[antonraphael70]

"ive never met many elderly people with an ounce of vanity left to give a shit".

Great line!

I reckon a lot of it comes down to 'Ego' too, but that was bang on Sullzy!

[Sullzy]

When im older i know what i'll look like.

The gnarliest fucking Grandad ever.

You know what man, even if they look like complete shit and i look like a moron to everyone else, at least i can say part of my youth will always be with me and i'll have a memorial or my memorys at the time over my body, and we all know your memory can go as you get older, so anything helps.

Old age is a time to reflect on the past and smile dude, but theres not much to look forward at that point, sadly.

[S0630]

Like my step-sister says, you only get one life, do it up!

[gabaracus0]

@Sullzy i like the way you think man.

[SEXUALTlGER]

@Sullzy Truth man true

[jiuclawTV]

@Sullzy thats the spirit lol

[Disposition446]

@Sullzy Or is there? ;)

[asianSmallboobs]

@Sullzy

maybe you could get a puppy..

or some puppy tattoos

[banvir99999]

@Sullzy It looks great

[tpinkERZ]

haha thats a total lie i know people who have tattoos for at least 40-50 years and still love them, try to voice your opinion in a reasonable way plz :)

[xIGEES7ARRRx]

thats looks awsome

[stevensmith288]

absolutely fantastic piece of work

[IHeartRouge]

0:12

Butt crack! rofl.

[LaynezWorld]

you seem to give a shit and also seem to be getting pretty worked up. You can keep your gay koi tatt and shove it up your ass. lol

[szatter123]

it's a koi dragon ACTUALLY

[LaynezWorld]

oh because a koi dragon is soo much more original

[chutees]

Your ACTUALLY an asshole.

[szatter123]

oh am i? and is that because some dickhead made fun of a disabled guy's hope? and i defended the poor guy? that makes me an asshole? i think that makes you a complete wanker.

[j0elyrancher]

The Koi Fish is symbolic in the Buddhist Religion, representing courage. Humans 'swim' through the 'ocean of suffering' without fear, just like a fish swims through water.

It is said to climb waterfalls bravely, and, if caught, it lies upon the cutting board awaiting the knife without a quiver, not unlike a samurai (warrior) facing a sword

The carp is an appropriate symbol to encourage the overcoming of life's difficulties leading to consequent success .

Douche

[SoldierFrontJunky]

calm down

[MrLawliet1992]

thats not the only symbolic thing that a koi fish represents though, in asian culture its the strength and courage of the koi fish fighting its way up the river to dragons gate where it will become a dragon.

[dae0987]

who dint kno tht well im asian so i knew tht

[MrLawliet1992]

your an idiot

[lee2by4]

I think swimming up stream shows a good amount of strength!

[Ochazix]

koi fishes is a symbol of strength and courage. it's told in ancient japanese lore that once a koi fish makes it up stream they turn into a dragon.

[faYte0607]

Yep. It's actually originally a Chinese belief. Koi swims up the yellow river in China to become dragon.

[idunnosia]

i think that guy died one month after that

[BUZZDOG001]

thats a shame.hope he is somewhere peacefull now !!

[roselalalalala2]

awesome!

[C00Lcat69]

LOL

[titanlock]

woud be much better without the dumbass fish... lets see a weak ass fish, or a fucking fearsome dragon... no brainer

[gsus8091]

says the white trash idiot with the mullet

[titanlock]

do i know you? you sound like my mother in law, always judging i was offering an opinion, you were just being under humanity, kthxbai

[MrFuckyourpowertrip]

Thats the first tattoo i want is a Koi Dragon. I think its an awesome symbol and just awesome looking. I think it is a very nice tattoo for him also Very powerful and determined. Very nice

[iiRUNshit]

cool tat

[noobaxe]

The Guys at Miami Ink wants to make it look that their work meens as much as possible by having people on the show with these dramatic stories.

[CarpMagic95]

exactly, lol its a tv programme and they need viewers, i mean people are hardly gonna look forward to the next show if all it shows is people coming in wanting pointless pieces of shit on their bodies for a laugh, so obviously they will show the most dramitic stories and for advertising they will show the best of the tats, anyhow it worked with me as im after trying to get to them for a picture of my two daughters. Wonder how much they charge lol

[hellogabyz]

LOOOOOL!

[explosivegopher]

I dont get why everyone thinks there has to be a story or a special reason to get a tattoo. People get tattoos because they like it. Its that simple. "I just really want a butterfly tattoo, because like, butterflys can fly, and every time I look at it, it will remind me that I should never stop, like, dreaming."

[kjeoy]

So true!

[Jamesbenn49]

Yeah a lot of stories on the program are pointless cringey American bollacks (not this particular one) but I guess thats what gets the ratings. People would get bored if it was a normal person just going in for something random which they like. I have a large dragon half sleeve...... means FUCK ALL but I chose it because I like the design. Don't know why some people think they have to have some deep meaning lol.

[Ghostmankiilah]

hahahah that one made me laugh out loud

[bleachpudding]

WORD TO THE CRACKEN

[ronnier9646]

LOL

[BaldBassist]

your sutch a twat haha he even says it himself you fucking retard!!

[BaldBassist]

your a fag, its an INSPERATION to make him walk again, shut the fuck up

[tysonn321]

im getting that same tattoo on my leg :D

[ezappa612]

dude its not what he could have, Its what everyone else could have that the bed has been around. people like you jeapordize others health. i pray you have nothing to do with the tattoo industry

[FallingForgiveness]

dude im sure if he had something that could do that they wouldn't let him out lamo and i watched that episode he just couldn't use his legs and was going to have an operation..

[mongllod]

i just realized he didn't have eyebrows
