New Tattoo: need opinions *pics*

[Horiyoshi III]

If you go to the right artist, with a strong background/portfolio, they will be behind the wheel of this car.

Just give them rough ideas.
It's much better than expected when you let them flow with it.

I gave Master Forrest a ROUGH idea on my Ryu, he drove the car from there.
As a result I am graced with better work than if I chose it all.

Wow! A lot of Koi! I like it!

I'd suggest leaving the shadow of it off... Then you can add more in around if it you want at a later period.
