What could i put next to my Chinese tattoo. I have two symbols on my shoulder but..?

Question

want to put more around it. I don't want a Koi Fish, people always sugest that. Any ideas?

Answer 1

in small fine print "Made In USA"

Answer 2

Depends on what the symbols mean... You may want to find a theme that fits in with the meaning that the symbols have to you.

I have a koi because of the symbolism. It's popular because of that reason, and to a lesser extent due simply to the fact that it makes a pretty picture.

Do a few Google searches for the symbolism/mythology of any Chinese tattoos that you plan to get and you'll be amazed how intricate the mythology is, assuming that the image is a standard Chinese one...  

For example, there are 9 different dragons from Chinese mythology, all with different implications for the wearer (ranging from scholarly to protective implications)  and pairing a tiger with a dragon has a different symbolism (close to Ying and Yang).

Answer 3

koi fish are beautiful.  you can do an asian dragon

Answer 4

dragon or tiger

Answer 5

How can I help you adequately, without having a clue to what you already have? Content would probably make a difference. Also, what you like and care about.

In lou of that, here are some images, that may or may inspire you, or be appropriate with your existing tats.

Chinese horse paintings:

This is Zhong Kui, who is a figure of Chinese mythology. Traditionally regarded as a vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings, and reputedly able to command 80,000 demons, his image is often painted on household gates as a guardian spirit, as well as in places of business where high-value goods are involved:

Answer 6

i think you have enough tattoos already. i think its a total turn off to have to many

Answer 7

have u looked up the lotus flower? its really pretty and grows outta mud into a beautiful flower

Answer 8

I recommend a scroll, I recently tattooed a scroll with four chinese symbols on it and I thought it looked really cool... maybe some cherry blossoms behind the scroll would be even cooler...  

and whoever it was who said too many tattoos is a turnoff, thats all a matter of opinion, I think people who dislike tattoos is a turnoff... I only like women who have an artistic, free flowing lifestyle... not robots.

Answer 9

you should get a dragon
