Japanese Dragon and Tiger Sleeve

The Japanese style in tattoo usually has a motif such as dragons  and tigers like this tattoo. The Koi fish tattoo was the start of this sleeve tattoo, I had put that piece under the arm. It is a good idea to do the harder stuff first, don't save those spots for last.

The dragon all done in black and gray moves around in the clouds, finishing the top of the arm. The dragon is covering up some older tattoos that just didn't fit with the new design.

Adding the scroll work to enhance the name and slogan on his lower arm bring some continuity to this Japanese Tattoo. A tiger climbing up the arm is set off with adding bamboo and some distant mountains.
