Matt are you the artist by any chance? Seems like your trying to get people to give you some kind of praise and confidence boost! To be brutally honest, your work isn't that great and you should really practice a lot more before putting ink to skin!
You shouldn't post pictures and ask if they are good or not, you should find an artist that you like the work of, and ask him/her to draw something after your idea, and decide yourself if you want it.
Most people here have no clue about tattoos tbh ;)
Iv got all respect for others tattoos. I have a question though. I heard that a koi turned facing the ground is not the same meaning as a Koi facing upward. Is this true?
