Suck it up, ya pansy! My 12yr old wants me to do a Polar Plunge with her this winter. It HAD to be warmer than that in there.
:-)
Seems like he does nice work, though. Love to see the progression as you go.

Not a huge fan of tattoos, but that looks a hell of a lot better than a cowflop on a tarp!

Nice ink Wade. I especially like the Packers helmet. And that's coming from a Lions fan!

You have added a lot since the first part of the tattoo, I like it! So how much more are you doing to it?

It's been a little over a year since I got my first and I'm ready for my next tattoo! But not sure when I will get it. You guys are not helping me LOL

They are addictive, aren't they? I thought once I finished my half sleeve I'd be done. Then I got the idea for the back piece. Hopefully it'll stop there.

"In tattoo imagery, especially in combination with flowing water, it symbolizes much the same: courage, the ability to attain high goals, and overcoming life's difficulties." It is said that if the Koi can swim up and past the waterfalls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River) it would be transformed into a dragon.
I personally like the Japanese symbolism and myths and think the Koi will compliment the Tiger. My Koi will be black and deep red. Not nearly as colorful as tx_tuff's Koi.
This is why my Koi is swimming up (as in up the yellow river). You will see some people get them swimming downward, but everybody does their own thing.
My Koi is orange and white with green eyes for a reason. The orange and white is because my girl (next Sat will be 9) still sleeps with a large Nemo fish I won for her at a carnival when she was 2. The green eyes is because my boy has green eyes, so have them both covered with the fish. Also have two cherry blossoms, one for her and one for him.

Yeah I want one for my other leg, but also want to finish the leg I started. Oh well I don't think I'm going away anytime soon so I have time.
