Koi fish tattoo, ideas?

May 22, 0187 by wvequestrian | Posted in Tattoos

I want to get a small koi fish on my ankle to symbolize strength, etc.. I would love for it to be colorful and maybe surrounded by a few stars. It would be great if someone more artistic than myself could draw one, or send me a link to something similar.

The first image is the most appealing to me, personally, because the image has a woman carefully worked into it, along with the flowers. And, although a bit small to see well, the Japanese waves are pretty awesome in the last image. A combination of the

Climbing out after having fallen through the ice is surprisingly difficult. Not only is it tough to get a purchase on the wet ice, but there is also an instinct to approach the edge straight. When you do that, the buoyancy of your legs causes them to move forward under the edge of the solid ice, making it impossible to climb out - or even be pulled out by on-lookers with a rope. The old advice was to always carry gutter spikes in your pockets that you could use to stab into the ice and pull yourself out. Unfortunately, in the thrash of trying to stay afloat in ice water and get something out of your pocket, 90 percent of the time the spikes were lost and sunk.

A better solution taught when I was in the academy, was to imbed some spikes in sections of a broom handle. If you dropped these, they would float. However, the other threat with ice is falling down and it was not uncommon to stab yourself when this happened.

Nowadays, "spikes" are hardened steel stilettos, imbedded in floating plastic handles and encased in a moveable plastic shield that protects the blade, but pushes out of the way when you stab it into the ice. These come with a lanyard and most knowledgeable outdoorsmen wear them around their neck when traversing ice.
