Okay, this is just a first pass - nothing is done except maybe the sea snake but there are no highlights or shadows for him yet either. On the right, hidden are two unfinished clownfish in an anemone. He'll keep laying things out to get the whole design before he goes back to finish each part completely. Next up will be some fish and coral on the right, and in the middle will be the deep blue with some shadowed critters in the distance. Kinda frustrating that nothing will be finished until everything is finished at the last minute!
FYI - This is a sea scene made from a number of pictures I've taken while diving. The sea snake I chased all over the bottom trying to get a close-up of him, only later to find out how poisonous he is! Oops! And I just love my eels!

First session. Hopefully I'm doing this right. Still have more lining to get done and then color.
I'm stoked about it. Wife thinks it is to big, but I think she will come around when she
see the finished work. My 4 year old thinks it is cool. Already trying to touch it

Hi
47 year male from central Texas here. Finally getting half a sleeve koi fish in traditional Japanese style this Thursday.
I'm very excited, but nervous. I did a lot of research on what artist I wanted to use
and decided on Katja Ramirez, who works out of Rock Of Ages in Austin, TX.
Really like the work I have seen from her. Just hope I don't embarrass myself and can take the pain.
I do have a small tattoo, that is going to be covered up. Been reading a lot of posts and it has been very helpful.
Just a short introduction and thanks for the helpful posts.

Man that is absolutely perfect! Love the placement, the body of the panther creates a perfect flow to your upper arm. Makes me really wanna get a panther!

Thanks for the help.

Thanks. The work I have seen has been awesome. When I met her, she was real easy to talk too. Will post a pic.

Finished my first session with Katja Ramirez at Perfection yesterday. I'm super happy with the result and I'm going back for another round in February.
