Hey guys I am gonna get some inkage done for my love for monster fish. the tatoo is gonna contain pictures of some of my favourite species. SO i was wondering if you guys could help me out...

the fish that will be included in the tatoo are:

Polypterus Endlicheri
Asian arowana (red)
Clown knife fish
Channa Barca
Clown loach
Australian lungfish
and a snook (the saltwater kind that related to baramundis)
and maybe a leopoldi ray

I already have the pictures for the Endli, Snook, AUL, clown loach and clown knife... that only leaves the arowana and the channa barca...

I already have my eye on a picture of the aro and its actually from a member here. I needa contact him to ask him if he would mind. What I was wondering is if you guys could share any pics of these species that you think are really special and good for tatooing. Especialy the aros and leopoldis... I am trying to find that picture of the yawning channa barca... but for some reason i cant find it... if any of you have it can u please post it?

thanks alot guys I appreciate any input...
 
nobody has that channa barca yawn shot?
 
Unless the tat is going to be huge you are trying to incorporate way too many elements which would lead to a massively confusing and convoluted tattoo...I suggest cutting down to a couple of your fave fish..

As for reference material, give your artist as much to work with as possible... when i got mine done i gave my artist a 300+ page book on asian arowana, he studied it and drew, redrew and redrew a million times before he was happy that it looked real..
 
thanks for the input but i know wat im doing... the tat is gonna be pretty big... covering my whole bottom leg... surround another tat i have down there... all in all the space available is like 12"x18" of skin... the point is to be very colorful and really bright... if i hadnt lowered the amount of fish i wanted to do it would have been waaayyy bigger :P
i like a lot of fih...

Why not the MFK logo i would.

As much as I enjoy this forum, I think it's kinda retarded to get any tattoo of a group or anything that's not going to be around

Put your money where your mouth is. You come to the states and I'll pay for a simple black MFK logo for you. I get to pick where it goes though. Hope you like walking around with MFK on your forehead.
