@zeroboy666cole Well congratulations! You do sound like a dick! Read up on Koi tattoos and the various meanings of Koi position before you open your mouth.

i dont want to sound like a dick but a koi fish swimming down is bad luck.

great piece bro, i love james work, i think he is the best artist in portland and one of the best in the country. people should look at his portfolio, its as good as it gets. im hoping to save up enough money to have him finish a sleeve i started, but the artist i went to is very slow, although a great artist also. but i feel in love with jame’s work. i already got a piece from rachel, who is the other artist at no hope no fear tattoo and she did an awesome job too. love their work.

Thanks man! It took 11 hours and was done by James Kern in Portland, OR. His website is posted at the end of the video.

mad tattoo man

Thanks buddy! The Koi pointing down symbolizes my cliff jumping accident and the black water symbolizes death (my heart stopped for 90 seconds).

I do have the original drawing… Although this is a custom tattoo and it is one-of-a-kind.
