Bad choice in color placement, should of been blended out better looks like the tattooist concentrated to much on packing color, sometimes you need to blend them out a little. Cool idea on the collectors part but poorly executed.
I have looked at these pictures and I can not find any negative comments to give, trust me I tried! It looks Great. The artist executed the linework and color placement like a pro, I look forward to seeing more from this artist and more of this sleeve when you get it done. Props to the artist and the client. It is a really nice rendition of the Koi. And the stipple effects with the lighter colors really makes this design stand out. Keep it up!!

Personally, I think the tattoo was awesomely executed. I thought the color placement was fantastic.. It really made the koi the center of attention as opposed to putting too much emphasis on the waves. The color really popped. I think it's great. Look foreward to seeing more!
