I love everything Japanese! Starting with Sushi but also the style and aesthetics, geishas, koi, architecture, Harushika girls. Beautiful tat.

Oh wow, this looks familiar. I have seen this design before. Is it from an art piece? Yeah I def. like it.

It’s unique…i dunno… it’s pretty cool and not a tribal band which I can’t bear to see any more of.

Wow, nice job. Looks beautiful.

Ya we need to see it to give you suggestions. I hate my first tattoo also and just want to get it removed. The artist did a crap job and I was such an idiot for not having it sketched out beforehand (took it from a photo). Live and learn.

I love Japanese art including anime and Memoirs of a Geisha is one of my favorite books. Rock on. Love it

What’s the story behind it? Is that Hello Kitty? The colors are amazing!

Seriously, nice tats! Wish I could see the detail a little clearer on your sleeves. What city is your tattoo artist in?

don’t start shaving your arms cuz it will be all stubbly and come back thicker. Waxing is definitely the way to go. You can just by some strips and do it yourself. It’s not painful and it makes the hair grow back way thinner.
If you aren’t into either get one of those manscaping devices that just thins out your hair.

Hmmm the labia and the neck would probably be the most sensitive. My friend said the inside of the lip.

Hey are you going to post since you got the color done?

Move to San Francisco where people are open to all kinds of self expression. I guess you are looking for support…
People can be lame and cruel…it’s unfortunate. I never lived in a place where tats raise eyebrows.

It depends…
Tramp Stamps are sleazy.
Tribal arm bands and tats on the belly aren’t going to
age well.
Just my opinion….

It’s like something happens in your life and you never want to forget it. You want to take that lesson and permenantly engrave it into your skin.
If it’s just to look cool i dunno you probably regret it.
It’s a “I may be a mommy” or “I may be Corporate” but I still play by my rules kinda statement.

I think you can definitely have it on your wrist and cover it up with long sleeve and watches. Then when ur Corporate Job is draining the life out of you you can crawl into a bathroom stall, slip off your watch and be reminded that Life is Short but Corporate work days are very long.

Ya I agree there’s ways to make it unique to you. For one you can put your own special message or use fonts with your initials or can of course have it designed in color.

Have to agree…can be beautiful with the gold oranges but waaay overdone. Do Koi have a special meaning for you? A pretty picture can get old quick. It’s better to have something with special meaning to you…tells a story about you.
When people ask about Koi what could you really say…”uh…thought it looked cool.”

So you mean that the entire arm has to be covered in tats to be considered ‘sleeved’? Yeah that makes sense.
