Arnold's Koi Fish

Arnold Plew is one of my first clients.

I already inked him a lot of times. He has a tough skin so I had to increase the power level on my tattoo gun to get it done.

I didn't realize before that people have different kinds of skin and it takes stroke adjustments to put the ink properly depending on the thickness of the skin.

There are skins that are so easy to tattoo just like drawing on paper but there are kinds of skin that's tough and it takes more effort to put the ink inside. Arnold is one of them.

This is one of the reasons why some tattoo artists don't like inking the tough parts like the elbow.
