I'm so needy :p

This isn't one of those "hey I can't decide so you guys pick what goes on my flesh forever" kinda deals. In the end I make the final decission I guess I'm just getting some feed back.

This will be my third tattoo going on my inner left ankle/calf opposite a frog on my right inner calf in much the same formation, long skinny and crawling up my leg.

This is just the line art, once I decide which one I like then comes the coloring.
I'm leaning towards two.

1.)

Thanks guys.
 
I voted for #2 - I think there is something just kinda... off about the way #1 is drawn! Nice pick though!
 
#1 looks bad... It's like the fish is walking or something on a fin. Not so nice.
But, I like #2... It would look better if the mouth was closed IMO.
 
I voted #2. It would look good with only the tail on your ankle and the head on your foot like its swimming. and it would look cool in two planes at once
 
Second one looks much better to me,but the only opion that really matters is your own.I'm getting some more ink when my buddy gets home from "vacation" Goshawk on my shoulder and a big Harpy eagle on my back.
 
I voted for 2 (and looking at the other replies and poll results now, it seems so did everyone else so far ;)).

2 is more dynamic than 1. The fins are flared out a bit as if the fish is actually moving around and swimming with purpose, as opposed to the more sedate, smoothed down look in 1 (which is how one of my bettas looks when he's really, really bored and just hanging at the surface).

Additionally, 2 has a bit more dimension to it, because the base of the dorsal crosses over the body, providing depth to the image. 1 looks a bit flat because all of the fins are just coming off of the body, without showing much overlapping.
 
Just say no to flash! My honest opinion. Just imagine something you'd like in your wildest dreams, and talk to the artist about it. I don't think you'll like a premade peice like that for your whole life would you? I do make exceptions for this rule when it's a classic- Sparrows, Panthers scratching you(for some reason I just love that one!!) Hula girls etc...
Yeah, make him work for his money!
 
Well this is already the second round.
Versions 1 and 2 got scrapped. And she'll never let anyone else use these designs either so they're guarenteed to be personal :)
Thanks for your opinions guys, I was just trying to get a feel for what looked more asthecially pleasing.
 
For those of you who voted I just wanted to update with the finished product.

This is the second colored version of number 2. (You don't even wanna see the first one :sidestep: )

I can't wait to get it done.
 
Thats her username, right. I thought I had seen work like that done before. She is really good. It's cool your able to use one of her's.
 
I need to talk to the artist and get an estimate, get to know him etc.

Unfortunately all three of my tats are shaping up to be from diffrent artists.
My first tattoo artist is about 2 hours away now (as I moved) my last tattoo artist moved....so now I have to find a 3rd one :rolleyes:
My friend/coworker from petco just got both of her feet entirely inked and it looks freaking awesome, so I'm probally gonna talk to him.

Edit:
lol people keep voting and not seeing that this has already been decided. :grin01:

Well, I would have voted for the second one. I like the colors, except everything at work, everyone at work, all live and breathe orange and blue.
