I finally decided that I want my future tattoo to be fish related since they're such a big part of my life and am leaning towards a Betta since they are what started off my obsession

I'm also drawing it out myself which is... interesting to say the least lol. But I'm having problems finding reference pictures of what pose I want my betta to be in.

so if you have a picture of a betta swimming up while facing the camera (like the picture of the goldfish at the bottom) and you could let me use it for a reference I would really appreciate it!

All I ask is that it not be a crowntail or a plakat since I want to get a plain red VT and i need long fins to look at c:

Well since I'm really into tattoos, I just have to submit my little guy for that one

Ok so he's blue and not really looking up but a good tattoo artist can surely arrange that for you. He's a VT and you can see his face and fins pretty well.

So here's Beetlejuice...

These aren't exactly what you're asking for, but the poses are all very natural, and the fish are beautiful. I'll just post some of my best shots in case there may be one you like. I'm sure it's hard to get just the right one though!
