This was a tattoo design my friend and acupuncturist Charlie at Uckfield Wellbeing wanted. There were some specifics for this brief and it was quite a challenge to get the bear and wolf both looking out and neither taking dominance with the yin yang still clearly recognisable.

This one I had in mind a particular thing, but it took a different path.

this one was inspired by ten hundred on YouTube. Showing my japanophile tendencies. This board was sitting around spray painted cyan and blue for ages before I finally decided a design.

Process of Neo traditional style tattoo design. Happy with the bottom koi and the overall flow but look how I add too much colour and obliterate the whole thing… this I will have to have another bash at this one.
