Ok, I have a few thoughts on this.

1)I think you are trying to do too much here. You need to ask yourself the basic question: Do I want a koi tattoo or not? I think if you want a koi you should find a way to stay closer to the traditional meaning of the tat. You can change things– recently there has been a koi with a skull…[Read more]

But, like I said, I want to hear opinions from people who are more experienced than me. Thank you for your reply 🙂

I don’t like how the design turned out to be. That’s why I am looking for opinions or ideas to make it more interesting. I have no problem extending it, in fact I’m just stumped as to what design elements can be added to make it better (rather than worse, it is…[Read more]

It actually seems like a brave first tattoo to me. Have fun.

Oh my gawd.

You are so adorable!!

I could just eat you right up!

Now, on to more serious business, I agree with Matthew’s sentiments. This sounds like a design that could work very well in the hands of a competent artist, and while if done well it will be very elegant, I wouldn’t call it feminine. The two just…[Read more]

I’ll have to give it some more time to see if I can do it with no regrets.

Hi

I like the idea overall I think it would make a very unique tattoo.

You could consider having the butterfly wings as the wounds in your shoulder. The torn skin with the bloodied outline could make the winsg with the text written across the them.

Take Care

You mean that as in a wings shaped wound? That is an…[Read more]

there is no doubt about me wanting the tattoo improved, i’m not sure where you saw any ambiguity. What I mean is that to me, the tattoo looks unfixable, that is because I’m not an artist, so I was expecting the artist to tell me what should be improved, no the other way around. All I can say is I want a beautiful bird with awsome clouds…[Read more]

I have been to 5 different studios today, and about half of them said the tattoo is fine and they don’t think there is any work to be done on it. The other half said very little can be done, and kept asking me what exactly bothers me with it, and what exactly do I want done? I didn’t really know what to say, so I just said I want…[Read more]

He is what I should explain to the artist I want improving the tattoo:

I tell him to extend the clouds all around, and improve the shading. Perhaps about a little white highlights over them, would that work? As for the rays, add a hint of warm color to portray a sunset feeling, and for the bird? What can…[Read more]

so if I understand correctly by saying the bird is unrecongnizable you mean it’s hard to even understand that it is a bird? Do you have any specific suggestions as to what can be done to improve it?

It is meant to remind me that life is short and I should really live it up, yet here I am with a mediocre tattoo that proves just the opposite, haha.

Anyway, I hope someone here with a good eye can suggest some improvement.
Thanks though.
