There are many variations of the Koi fish tattoo, like ones that are done in black and white to help represent the ying-yang or a balance of dark and light, that is common in Japanese tattoos. There are also those that are more traditional in color and take their coloration from those of the actual fish and present them in their natural colors of white, red, black, yellow and orange. Either way, it is sure to be a powerful bold statement placed upon your body.
Which of course is the next part of the Koi fish tattoo, placement. Traditionally these tattoos were placed in areas of honor to give honor to these highly valued fish, now a days though with the combining of western civilization and eastern history they are found anywhere on the body that the bearer chooses. Typical places include the calf, forearm or on females the lower back.
No matter the style or colouration of your Koi fish tattoo, it will be one that you love and value highly. It is a bold statement of power and strength that has a long history and shows no signs of disappearing beneath the waves of fad tattoos anytime soon. For More information click here |
