    Chris Crooks in White Dragon in Belfast. No competition.

    But be prepared for a hell of a waiting list and a hefty price tag.

    Chris Crooks is definitely the best.

    I've seen solid work from loads of other places none really much better than any of the others. Spilled ink put up nice koi sleeve stuff recently.

    Third for Chris Crooks.

    Paul in Spilled Ink is the one put up those koi as far as I remember. Been great seeing his development as an artist since he started!

    Another one worth checking out would be Joe Myler, does some really excellent koi fish pieces.

    +1. Check out his website. Himself has two oriental sleeves done by Joe, top class ink.

    If you want the best it has to be chris in belfast, moyler is decent but not worth the money he charges at all.

    Yeah I agree. I know if I wanted a Japanese sleeve I'd either go to Chris or not bother, cause I'd have to live with having to know I could have gone to Chris.
