Default japanese sleeve advice

The attached file is what I have at the moment; 2 koi, cherry blossom, lotus and the sun rise and tempal on my chest.
I'm thinking of having them normal coloured ie koi oranage and yellow lotus purple and blossom pinky/white.
I'm torn between a dragon or hannya mask and a geisha face on my forearm. Anyone have any suggestions or critisims
Sorry about the poor spelling

I would personally go for a hannya out of the two. Imo, a dragon needs the whole arm or atleast most of it to get the most out of one.

But tis up to you bro.

I got nothing on the inside of my arm so could have it going from the armpit to my wrist ( head at wrist) but I do like the idea of having a lot of things blended together instead of one big image. But I'm stuck on ideas that go with what I've already got

If you were to stick to tradition.
I believe a koi would have to be on the bottom for it to rise as a dragon.
PS: not sure if it's a koi or another fish.

I think out of the 3 I would go with the Hannya mask as well, the mask could be floating on a stream. Not sure about the geisha face, don't like the idea of koi's above the head, unless the tattoos were to be separate.

You're totally correct!!! i also agree with a BIG hannya. dragon needs more space. imo
