sleeve design

ryanner

hi i am getting a half/three quart sleeve and already have ram tattoo (pic below) i am thinking of getting a koi dragon any ideas on how it would look picture of the ram is below also want a night sky behind the ram like a galaxy or nebula can this be done

When you say Koi Dragon I presume you meant to type Koi / Dragon as a Koi is a fish......
Anyway, my advice based on what you've wrote there would be to stick to one style. In my opinion if you were to see out what you've described you'll have a mish mash sleeve, while this can work to varying degrees with different styles, I dont think it will work with what you have there at the moment.
If I were you, I would start considering either covering the ram, leave out the nebula and having full japanese style tattoo or keep the nebula and ram and go for a more horoscope type theme if thats what you're going for. A medivel style dragon could work in there either.

Pretty sure he meant a koi dragon, a popular tattoo since koi's are supposed to evolve into dragons in mythology.

It's a koi body with a dragons body/head emerging from it. It's gotten pretty popular since there were a bunch done on Miami Ink. It's a nice tattoo if done well.

Unfortunately, Cathal passed away some time in the last month and a half-ish.

A koi-dragon? Thats a new one to me, or at least something i've not picked up on at least. Either way, I stand by the rest of the post, stick with the one theme/style.
