Daruma Tattooby ~Gitoku

Designs & Interfaces / Tattoo Design

I've been trying to come up with a tattoo design that includes both a daruma doll and a koi. Both represent persistence, determination, following one's goals etc. I like that.

With the daruma, you draw one on it and make a wish. Then once your wish comes true you draw the other eye on it. I was thinking of getting a daruma-themed tattoo (if not this one) and getting the second pupil drawn in once I achieve my goal...

This is gonna be my first tattoo, If of course you give me your permission

As long as it's just for you and isn't going to be re-produced in any other way, you have permission to use it. I've noticed that there are few photos online of people who have had similar tattoos done which I am pretty certain were inspired by this design.

I'm highly considering getting this on my back as my first tattoo. If I could have your permission, may I use this?

Sure. Upload a pic when it's finished :-D

Very interesting, man.

I was gonna say this one is awesome, but I see I already said that 2 years ago, haha. My sense of liking has not changed! Anyway, compliments again. If I were bold enough, it'd be so sick to have this tattooed on.

Thanks. I wish there was a way of knowing who downloads your art on dA because this pic has been downloaded over 3,500 times. I only get like 150 views on average for my other stuff so to get so many downloads for one pic is kind of unusual for me.

I have the same idea! I'm gonna get a daruma with one of its eyes to be filled in once I achieve my goal

I found your design while browsing google for some good darumas to use for reference, great job! I especially like the mouth of the koi.
