Getting a Koi Tattoo
Before getting a koi tattoo, there are 2 things that you need to consider – one, the color; second, the location. Colorful tattoos tend to hurt more because it has to be etched on a bigger portion of your skin like the arm. It has nothing to do with the shades, a common myth aspiring people think, but more of like how the color will be spread on the surface. Second, the location. If you are a professional, then this is probably not an issue, but if you are new, you can safely place it on your forearm or thighs as these areas are less painful.

Some of the common meaning of koi tattoos:

Hey readers! I’m Jeffrey and your tattoo artist of the day;) I have been drawing and painting my whole life, and after graduating high school I decided it was time for a bigger challenge and I started drawing on people. I’m so fortunate I got to express my creativity through my body art and even more so to share my passion with my now wife Emilie. She started working with me in my tattoo shop as a piercer and I started writing about and photographing, my creations on this blog. I love to hear from you and hope you enjoy our work together!
