Hello and welcome to the forum! Nice bright colors in that koi man! How old is that work? By chance do you know what brand the artist is using?

Hi mate, thanks for joining

I love that koi and the full sleeve, the quality and the colour is awesome. Infact that is probably one of the best jobs (sleeves) I have seen in colour in a long long time!!

How much did that cost in total?

Oh feel free to open up an album mate and show your tattoos to the world on the home page

thanks for the replies, as for the brand he used, i have no idea, my tattooist just works freehand and draws it on first, he drew the koi at home then just freehanded the rest round it, i have a crysanthemum inside the top of my arm, ill try find some pics of that.
the sleeve has been a bit of an ongoing thing, it took about 2 years in total as i just did it bit by bit, longest sesh was 4 hours, and all in all its cost about £800 so far, my tattoist is £60 an hour and it gets cheaper the longer your session is. qoite reasonable considering how good he is!
the artist is called dave and he owns his own shop called cruithni tattoo in hull, ill get the location and contact details soon if anyone wants it,

Rob.

Well I'm on the other side of the pond from you all so it won't do me much good ! I'm always in the market for good bright ink so if you hear anything about the brands he's using let me know, I'd sure appreciate it.
