Hey guys, i'm Stefan - 20 years old from UK.

 Just thought i'd show you the start of my Koi Leg sleeve..

 This is a view from my Shin/Left side of my leg;

 This is from my calf;

 As you can see, it's 2 Koi fishes, cherry blossoms and water.

 I was looking at other peoples tattoos to see what else i can add to mine or give him ideas but i told the artist as long as it's Japanese theme then you have free reign and seeing as the artish is japanese himself couldn't leave free reign to a better person to be honest.

 I actually going back in today to get 2 hours more of the lines from the inside of my leg and going further up my leg, will post more pictures later!

 Thanks for looking would appretiate any comments.

They didn't shave your leg first?  I don't know what difference it makes though.  Looking good so far!

 Yeah they did shave it, just obviously in the light you can see a few hairs lol

 Just come back from tattoo shop.. in a bit of pain lol

 My shin.

 Inside of my leg, just taken clingfilm off so it's a bit bloody lol

 My calf.

This is the side view!

Obviously it all looks a bit crazy at the moment, but once it's all been shaded and really in your face colours on the Koi's should look pretty nice, thanks for taking a look :)

Looking good. 

I need more.

 wow, that looks amazing! i love koi fish designs :)

Thank dude, yeah it looks ok at the moment, just can't wait to get the shading/colour done now! Give it couple weeks and i'll be back down there 

 that looks really great so far! congrats. :]

 My calf.

So tell me... (and this is just a survey question) Did the back of the calf burn like fire while he was tattooing it?

Well, it's not too bad to be honest. I found down bottom of the inside of my leg (by ankle) much more sensitive and painful.

 The bit that did burn was the shading on my calf, i did find outline and shading two different sensations and the shading did burn like hell lol But if you have the outline done then the shading done right after the shading is quite bareable but i'm not looking forward to going back and jumping right into colour/shading... as the outline won't of numbed my leg for the shading. hehe

That is really an amazing design! I love the japanese style of the waves, very beautiful. I look forward to seeing it colored!
