This guy right here http://www.crimsonhilttattoo.com/alex-taylor/
I was getting charged by the hour, but there were a lot a lot of free hours given. Really cool guy! A set goal for the day... and he won't stop till that goal was done.
1 day we did a straight 5 or 6 hour session (which I paid for a 3 hour session) with just 2 10 min breaks (I needed to pee, lol!).
I would say... if you build a pretty good bond with your Tattoo artist... I think they'll take care of you.

Oh, I'm guessing someone took the bait.

I'm also guessing you haven't had the pleasure of a face to face meeting with Jim?

So many things to go with it... which explains why I chose to have two koi's... with enough $$$$ I'd probably do a half body with the Chinese story.

I knew there were correlations between koi and dragons, but I had no idea that the position of the koi meant specific things. That's awesome!
How old is this particular tattoo? Have you noticed much fading, or do you put sunblock on it every day?

And an upside down Koi means Dead Fish...... ( Belly Up)

What does it mean when the Koi is surrounded by white rice and seaweed?

No special treatment. So far it's holding up without the special treatment. It's going on 2 years now.

LMFAO! That dude was a little....

I was 14 when I did my own and of course had to get it re done. The chick that was sitting in the seat next to me was crying harder than I have ever seen a person cry, naturally I laughed, but this one takes the cake!
