My first tattoo was done in 2004 when I found out that my Father was dying, I had the anchor with tribal band done. Then when my Brother died in June 2006 I got the tribal work done under the anchor (mistake) so I decided to do a kind of memorial for my Dad and Brother, I had the water and clouds done with the congees. The top congee on my shoulder means "Honor/Respect" and the other two at my elbow mean "Older Brother and Father"
I then decided to finish my sleeve off with a Koi fish,water and Flowers.
