Tattoo Style
In Japanese Irezumi, Keshoubori (化粧彫り) refers to the decorative background that enhances and completes the main subject (shudai) of the tattoo. This sleeve by Bardadim Tattoo showcases classic keshoubori elements - flowing waves, wind bars, and sakura petals that create rhythm, contrast, and depth around the koi. The background not only frames the composition but also connects all visual elements into a harmonious whole, essential in traditional Japanese tattooing.
