Maggy shared the parlor with me as we both got tattoos. Her's is a bit more extensive than mine. She said she got her other ones about a year ago. The one they're working on was inspired by nautical art, something she was exposed to by her parents, both of whom are, or were, in the Navy. There's also some French involved there, but I didn't catch its beautiful tattoonice tattoos, colorful tattoo. Flaming Dragon Tattoo, Tacoma, WA. www.flamingdragon.com. Her Tatto was being done by Jason G. She had such a terriffic smile I had to ask her if she would be in my 100 strangers. Thanks, Maggy, for letting me take your picture

KOI TATTOO

Koi is the Japanese word for "brocaded carp" and refers to the large, colorful fish that have been bred and kept in ponds for centuries. The formal name "Nishigikoi" translates as "living jewels." Careful breeding of these fish really got a modern foothold in the 1800s, and it has produced a rainbow of colors and a variety of specific body markings in the years since.

Generally known here as the brightly colored fish that are common in public ponds and fountains, carp (koi is Japanese for carp) can be found in colors that include white, yellow, gold, a deep orange, and some are even calico-colored. Particularly beautiful specimens have been known to fetch prices in excess of half-a-million dollars from private collectors who specialize in their breeding and showing.
