Well, having over 20 tats myself, I’d honestly have to say the Asian Koi thing everybody is going for nowadays. I think it’s the most similar because of the elaborateness of the waves, coral, etc. It has more structure, a concept, a purpose. However, tats are meant to be original. You don’t want to be one of those people walking around with Tribal… cause 9 times out of 10, you know they got it in the late 90′s when it was cool. Don’t make your ink look dated. Come up with a concept and a good tattoo artist will take it from there. They don’t like to be given too much direction. Let them do their thing. That’s what they do for a living. Much like if you were a doctor, you wouldn’t like the patient under anesthesia telling you where to cut & snip. LOL Good Luck!!!
