I have seen my fair share of Koi tattoos on the blogosphere. But this has got to be the worst ink I have seen by far. I mean what happened to this fish; did it swim up to a dirty stream polluted by nuclear/chemical waste or something? It really does look mutated to me! Perhaps there are some words of wisdom in that Japanese or Chinese script inked next to it that can redeem this really sucky tattoo.

Worst 'Koi tattoo' in the history of the tattoo art

I disagree. I’ve definitely seen worse koi. The black outlining the water was a mistake, but the fish itself is quite nice, I think.
All he’d need to do to ”fix” the tattoo would be to possibly soften the lines of the water a bit and add a transparent effect to the water by drawing the parts of the fish currently obscured by the water lighter than the rest of the fish.
The Chinese characters are probably a mistake as well, unless he actually knows the language intimately.
