Fish Tattoos

Fish tattoos are very popular with both men and women because they have deep symbolic meaning. In particular it's the Japanese Koi Fish tattoo design that is most popular.

The Koi fish is a type of carp and is the basis of many tattoo designs because of it's wide variety of different colours. It's not only popular in Japan, but is now known throughout the world, with many Westerners choosing to have Koi fish tattoo designs done on their body.

Koi fish are said to represent love, good luck and prosperity. They are also quite powerful fish so they can also convey the message of strength and courage, which are attributes many people aspire to have.

Koi Fish are also known for their independence and single-mindedness to succeed in their efforts to swim upstream and against the tide, so this is another message that you can convey about yourself, if you have these types of qualities yourself.

Overall the Koi fish is a powerful, strong, single-minded and committed type of fish. This alone makes it a popular tattoo symbol, but the array of different colours that can be used for a Koi Fish tattoo makes it an extremely popular choice with both men and women.

They look great on the arms, back or shoulders and are ideally suited for larger more creative designs. You can combine them with water and/or other elements in order to make an impressive, colourful tattoo which will be the envy of all your friends.

For a large selection of different Koi Fish tattoo designs, I recommend joining either Chopper Tattoo or Tattoo Me Now. Both these online tattoo galleries have many top quality fish designs to choose from, all of which are a lot better than many of the free ones you will find on the internet.
