By Tony Cohen at The Illustrated Man Tattoo Studio of Fine Art, NSW, Sydney, Australia.
I decided to get this tattoo because I have always loved the story behind the Koi fish - if they succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River, they would be transformed into dragons. The day I got this tattoo I made a few life changing decisions, and I wanted something to remember my courage in changing my goals and aspirations. My largest and most favourite tattoo to date; I couldn’t be happier with Tony Cohen’s work on my calf.
