Tattoo Style
In Japanese Irezumi, Shudai (主題) refers to the main subject of the tattoo - the central figure or motif that defines the entire composition and storytelling. This koi sleeve by Bardadim Tattoo perfectly illustrates the concept, where the vibrant koi serves as the shudai, supported by dynamic waves and delicate sakura flowers. The balance between the main subject and background elements is essential in traditional Japanese tattoo art.
