Koi Tattoo, Back Piece, Session 3

Slowly but surely :) Little bit more black and shading today. Also Decided to put a touch of colour to get a feel for the finished product! And so that I could feel the softness of black/shaded areas. All happy so far! Currently, It feels quite traditional. I have made quite a few sketches, some more experimental, some more traditional colour schemes. During the session, Really I let the feelings guide me. As it is my believe I am only 'painting' what is already in the person's soul. I expect some more 'fancy details, a little bit furher on the path! The guy told me he feels much power coming from the Koi! It really helps him in his daily life, Work challenges, etc. "Be strong, powerful but peaceful! Like the koi before becoming dragon". "trust and follow your heart, this is my message". He also insisted I write my signature on his back! It would be an honour! Let's see.. This piece my deserve it! Or Maybe, I'lldeserve it! :)
