Hello from a closet tattoo fan

[Goonv8]

Hi, I'm a teacher and have been a closet fan for a couple of years. I had a heart attack a year and a half a go and decided to go and get one done. I designed it myself and had it done on my back:

I really love it and have decided to go for another, so I drew up this design (If you're an artist, please don't laugh!).

I think that I am going to have it done on my right chest and shoulder. I guess I've got the bug.

Aaaah bless, your sketch is a good starting point, the idea and composition is all good all you need now is a great artist who can tidy it up for you and you will have one seriously nice tattoo there!
Good luck with that and make sure you post pics when you finally get it done!

Thanks guys. Had the first one done by Neil at Tattoo Inc in Kettering. I'm thinking of getting Nikole Lowe to do the Koi as she's really good at oriental style tats and I love the way she makes it flow with the muscle.
