When I started tattooing many years ago, my father asked me for a full koi sleeve. I avoided it like the plague for a long time because I didn’t feel ready for such a significant piece early in my career. Last year, knowing I was moving to Canada, making it happen became mandatory before I left. We started on January 1st, 2025, completing six sittings in just ten days, followed by a touch-up in February.
What you see here is the three-month healed result of over 50 hours of work between drawing and tattooing. It was the least I could do for the man who brought me into this world and supported me since I first had this crazy dream as a kid. Judging by the look on his face at the end of the video, I think he’s pretty happy with it!
Today is his birthday, and this is my “present” to him. Thanks for ALWAYS being by my side, no matter how far away I may be.
