Sol eyed salmon half sleeve

This was a really fun and challenging project. This young man was from Alaska and a fisherman. He wanted a sok eyed salmon, but he wanted it to be how they look when they are in the ocean, Which is this iridescent look. Now this is hard to do in the first place but then to translate that look into a traditional Japanese style tattoo was another challenge. I wasn't sure until I put the last color in it if it had worked out or not. So here it is. Let me know what you think.
