やあ!

The word "K O I" comes from the Japanese, simply meaning "C A R P". A homophone of koi means "L O V E | A F F E C T I O N", and koi are therefore symbols of love and friendship in Japan.


Sabe a etimologia da palavra K O I? É de origem japonesa, e simplesmente significa C A R P A. O homófono japonês desta palavra “koi” significa "AMOR|AFEIÇÃO", e por essa razão, estes peixes são símbolos de amor e amizade no Japão.




P.s. - I've been receiving many notes from people asking me if they can reproduce tattoos of my drawings, I must say that I get flattered, thanks!

But I have to make clear - I am okay with someone who wants to tattoo a drawing of mine on THEMSELVES since it is not being reproduced for financial gain and my original art concepts are not being changed or affected.

It's not okay to sell my images as tattoos to other people. Everything I create has copyrights and there is people watching you.

I like the inking in this one as well-the way you used negative space instead of lines on everything.

Wow, her facial expression in combination with her bareness makes this piece so strong. :love: I guess I could translate it to how serious she takes love and friendship. =D Or she could be skeptical about it from a traumatizing past. :0 I'll go with the first one because it's a happy thought. :laughing:

You always hear that people want to see something different. Then you give them something different. And they don't know how to deal with it.

I've had the color version of this in my faves for a while. I'm glad I cam back to look at this version because, man, you really rock the black and white in a fine way. Can I ask you how you did this piece? Did you use brush?
