My Dragon / Koi Fish Full Sleeve Tattoo

The fifth stage of my Dragon Koi Fish Full Sleeve Tattoo is now completed. Music is Acknowledged in the Credits.

The Koi fish is believed to bravely climb the waterfalls and to swim up any stream against the present current. Back in China, an old legend says that any Koi fish that had prosperously climbed the waterfalls at a point on the Yellow River named "Dragon's Gate", would be transformed into a Dragon at the top. It is through this legend that the Koi fish became a symbol that stands for Advancement and Strength in the face of Adversity.

Plus the Girlfriend is really pretty too. Koi and dragons are classic and beyond/above being trendy. Like blue jeans or Ford Mustangs are to American culture. Popular for a good reason. The tribal tattoos are still valid if done well. It's too bad greedy people put tattoo art all over everything. People will get burned out on it soon and only the true devotees will stick with it while the masses move on to the next trend.

Bociferousmimi, well said!

Beautiful tattoo:) Especially like the koi! How much time/money did you put into that, The koi that is!

[IGodzSouljaI]

How Much In Total Did Your Sleeve Cost?

[Gamble20fo]

0:19 omg look luke skywalker.. jk sick sleeve i love it!!!!!!

[IGodzSouljaI]

I communicated with the Artist via email leading up to my Japan visit. I made alterations to convert it from a Koi to a Dragon Koi fish.

[S0VlET]

i just got a half sleeve done check out my vid the detail in the dragons face is amazing not finished yet tho .. it still needs colour

[prolific108ind]

that is one hell of a sleeve! nice stuff!

[JefferyForMAYOR]

Just curious, but I've got something similar to your's, except our koi are much different looking.

When you were looking for a design for your dragon, did you just look around, or did the artist draw it up for you?

[IGodzSouljaI]

All good, what is the direct link?

[IGodzSouljaI]

Not at all. Asian culture belives that:

Dragon: Has three claws.

Royal Dragon: Has four claws.

Emperor Dragon: Has five claws.

Shit, I dont make the rules. But I did upgrade my Dragon when I got the chance :)

[TheAustalent]
