Should I get the flames shaded? More info in post

What about it?

Got the flames as my first tattoo a month ago, and the barbed wire done yesterday. Now that I’ve had the barbed wire, I think the flames might look a bit better if they’re shaded in a gradient starting from the top down? Opinions welcomed! Thanks

Japanese full sleeve with existing forearm tattoo?

What about it?

I’m trying to decide my next tattoo and locations and I’m curious - 1) does anyone know if a tattoo artist that does traditional Japanese work, would do a full sleeve on an arm with a existing tattoo on my right forearm? Or would they not want to mix the work and want to do my other arm that doesn’t have any tattoos? I’ve attached a pic that’s similar to what I have. 2) do you think it would ruin the look of the sleeve if I did get it done on my right arm with the existing tattoo? Has anyone seen this before? Appreciate any and all responses 🙏 thank you

New tattoo, what are your thoughts?

What about it?

It’s my first fine line tattoo and I love his style and want to go back for a bigger piece. I’m just wondering based on your experience how well this type holds up.

Freshly done Koi piece

What about it?

Got this done a few days ago and I think the artist nailed my vision of balance and movement. Thinking about what to get next to fill up the rest of my forearm.
