It’s October!! Halloween is just around the corner, so, I think we’ll get a little witchy this week. This fun Witch on Broom tattoo is the art work of Al “Coop” Cooper. He’s well known and much loved for his amazing cartoon work, especially for his depictions of sexy, cute, plus size women. Note the varying line weight- it’s one of the touches that make his figures so vital and alive!

There is a legend that tells of the small but courageous Koi fish. The Koi, like our American salmon, swim upstream against all odds. Legend has it that only one in many and many actually survive to swim all the way up the Rainbow River and arrive at the river’s head to leap over Dragon gate. As they crest in their mighty leap they begin to transform from a Koi fish, first into a Koi- dragon, half fish with the head of a dragon. They complete this transformation as they conclude their leap, coming down on the far side of Dragon Gate as a fully formed dragon. This tattoo depicts the story of the Koi dragon, also known as the Boys’ Day Legend.

In the above image you can just see the tail of the koi fish as it leaps over the collector’s knee (which represents Dragon Gate)

Sadly, that’s the best pic I have of the koi dragon and you can barely see its head.

Below is the dragon after full transformation.
