Getting inked over the weekend

Didn't do much over the weekend except get myself inked for the third time. Well, actually, it's a continuation of where the second one was last left off so technically, it's still considered my second tattoo. OK screw technically. It IS still my second tattoo. The half sleeve started a couple of months back and yesterday i went back to get more work done on it. Wished that more was done but anyhow, there's still session 3 coming up next month which should finish every thing; colours and all..

Back to the Alzheimer's theory... So i don't forget 20 years from now...Why get a koi? If you're as cina as it gets, and in my case i score a nice 9.9 outta 10, one would typically try to get something symbolic with strong characteristics; which doesn't clash with your own stars. I dunno, some people couldn't give a rats ass; some people particularly 'pantang' getting any ink with skulls or images associated with death. While many would love to get ink done of powerful figures like Sun Wukong, or Kuan Kong; they often refrain from doing so in fear that the character would be too strong for the body to host.. hmmm. anyway, that's my buddy Aquaria Man's 2 cents worth when we were talking about tattoos couple of weeks back after futsal.
Back to the koi. Quick search on google.... search..... searchh.... loading.... loading.... done!
  1. A very strong and symbolic creature. (Ok good.)
  2. Koi is said to be able to swim up waterfalls. (hmm.. quite the powderful hor)
  3. In folklores, a koi once swam up the yellow river and upon reaching the top was transformed into a dragon (Wah! transformers characteristics.. 1# Fan)
  4. Koi ain't no sissy fish. Pick one up and place it on the chopper and it will lie there patiently awaiting it's fate unlike a samurai. (I shit you not, i read this off the internet)
  5. Symbolizes abundance of wealth, everything you get is always more than others. (Does this means i'm rich?)

And then's when i decided to stick to koi on the right arm. Left arm... save that for Sun Wukong. I'm not that pantang after all, and i am born in the year of the Munky. Plus points. hah!
