So, what is a Koi Fish? A koi fish is a large fish and belong to the carp family. The orange and red koi fish are often mistaken for a large gold fish. Koi fishes are usually found in red, orange, black, blue and white colours. Koi fishes can reach up to three feet long provided they get the food, environment and room to get so big.

The Japanese portray great respect and love for the koi fish. Koi fishes have been bred and treasured by the Japanese for over a thousand years now because of their beauty.

Tattoos look beautiful as it is. But their beauty increases manifold if you have a meaning or a story to tell others about your tattoo. Koi fishes make beautiful tattoo design and the following are some of the few meanings and symbols of the koi:

- Advancement, improvement and ambition
- Courage to overcome all of life's challenges
- To symbolize the determination and endurance in the crucial stages of life
- Good luck in all that you do
- Independence and freedom from slavery
- Strength to endure and overcome the test of time
- Strong character and unique identity

As mentioned above, koi fishes come in a range of vibrant colours and are ornamental too. A skilled tattoo artist can capture the vibrancy of the koi fishes on to your skin and turn it to a great piece of art. But at the same time please remember that getting such a work done will cost you a bomb too.

The coloured inks used by the tattoo artists are expensive and are allowed to be used on one person only. This is primarily for health and sanitary reasons. The tattoo ink is transferred on to a person's body with the help of needles. These needles draw your blood which then mixes with the coloured ink. This is why it is of utmost importance to use disposable syringes for this purpose.

Almost all tattoo artists take enough care and ensure that the least amount of ink is wasted. However, this wastage increases when getting tattoo designs like that of the koi fish done. Though tattoo designs that depict the koi fishes are really expensive, they are worth every buck as they can be a stunning work of art if done properly by a very talented and skilled tattoo artist.
