Tattoo Design Brief
I want a "Hannya" mask with a dagger going through the mouth and a koi fish in the background. With just a touch of colour in the eyes (jade green or really feint blue). The main focus is going to be the hannya mask so I want the koi fish to be a little background piece somehow. I've linked a few images, I want everything black and grey and the only colour to be that tiny bit in the eyes. For the dagger i was thinking it going sideways like from cheek to cheek, but if there are any other creative ways, I'd be open to that as well. I'm a national swimmer and the koi fish resembles that and luck. And the mask is just a design i've just loved my entire life, especially being born in Japan. About 8 inches by 8 inches. It'll be ideally going on my upper arm/left shoulder
