Koi Tattoo Design

Koi tattoos are as mottled and as admired as the animal they actually are. Today it’s not difficult to see people bearing large Koi fish tattoo designs on their cadavers with profound meaning.

Koi is a kind of fish in Japanese and Chinese legends and many of the western people know this fish by the name carp. Today, if we would give a general meaning to the Koi, then it would be good fate. The Koi fishes tattoos have three different versions of meaning as mentioned at the bottom of this page after gathering of koi tattoos images.

Koi tattoos designs are frequently combined with dragons, water splatter, cherry blossom and lotus flowers. Some prefer to get large pieces of koi tattoos in completely Japanese theme including Koi, cherry blossom and dragons on their back, side, chest and shoulder. But some prefer to get small pieces of ink of single koi with little water splatter on their foot, leg, forearm and neck area. Customarily koi tattoos are very bulky tattoos, with elaborate brightly gloominess and colors to give an image of their rainbow of scales and their sacredly powerful swimming against the current of river water.
