Japanese Koi Fish Tattoos


Japanese Koi Fish Tattoos are both for men and women. They come in a lot of different colors, including black and white. Most tattoos are bright and vibrant with color, and need to be in order to attract the eye. However, the Koi tattoo is even more beautiful black and white than it is when it’s full of color. It has a lot of character and is pleasing to the eye.

The size is generally dependant on the location in cases like this, not so much the location depending on the size. On a man, this tattoo design can go on the arm or leg, sometimes even on the back. On a woman, she can have it tattooed to her wrist, lower back, even onto the back of her neck. It’s also been seen as a small tattoo shaped like a ring on one of her fingers.

The Japanese Koi tattoo symbolizes both good luck and fortune, as well as advancement and aspiration. It is said that the Koi fish brings great luck to those in need. Koi is Japanese for Carp, and actually originates in China. Legend tells how the mighty Koi swam up a waterfall to get to the top. The story enforces how aspiration to succeed can help you with difficult times you may face. This is primarily the reason Japan adopted this fish as their own, and now men and women from both places have this tattooed to bring them success, luck and hope
