Koi fish tattoos are one of the leading drawings among the widely used and most favoured body art tattoos. They provide the opportunity to have many design ideas and different ways of application. These drawings can be applied to the most diverse areas of the body due to the fact that they are flexible and adapt to every size and location. Japanese culture sees these tattoos as a symbol of perseverance and luck.

Such an interpretation has its own explanation, which comes from a legend. According to the legend, if this fish can swim upstream of the Yellow River, they will turn into dragons.

Koi Fish Tattoo Colours

These fish catch the eye with their bright and glamorous colours and act as ideal sketches for tattooing. Moreover, each of their shades can have a separate meaning. Thus, red koi is a sign of passion and love, and blue is a symbol of peace and tranquillity.

Koi Fish Tattoo Placement

As we have already mentioned, placing these tattoos on any part of the body does not cause any problems. You only need to choose the right size of the tattoo so that it corresponds to the chosen part of the body. Your tattoo master can help you with that. In general, we can say that small tattoos are very impressive when depicted on the wrist or ankle. And for large images, the back, thigh or chest are great areas to place them. You can make the tattoo more personal by choosing colours for it, the symbolism of which expresses your essence.
