Hi! My name is Felix from Memphis.

I just received my first color tattoo of 2 koi on my left upper arm. Since then I have seen a black and gray tattoo of 2 koi and really love it too. Im thinking about getting it on my other arm. Would that be considered silly to have bookend koi arms- one in color and its black and gray brother on the other arm?

If you look at pictures of Japanese bodysuits, you see a lot of them with koi on both arms. So basically it isn't silly at all, go for it!

Thanks! I think it would be awesome to have a color koi arm and a b & g koi arm. My last name is Pesce ( fish in Italian) and I am a Pisces. So The fish theme is very important to me but I just wanted a little validation for my idea from folks like you that knows more about the art of tattooing which I am still learning. I love your profile pic tattoo btw. Its badass

Why is deoderant soap bad for a new tattoo? Because it will irritate it or is it because it diminishes the strength of the colors?
