Tattoos truly are a work of art and many individuals throughout the world have them. If you are thinking about getting a tattoo, then that does not surprise us at all. Would you like to know about a wonderful tattoo? Our friend recently got a set of koi tattoos and told us to look up the meaning. That made us curious, so we came home and looked it up. We were surprised at just how deep the meaning behind this lovely work of art was. As we continue this article, we would like to share the facts we learn with you.

The koi fish is much more than a member of the carp family. They are known for being a very mystical fish that is well loved in China and other parts of the world. Koi stands for determination, strength, advancement and courage. If you think you have courage, strength, determination and advancement, then we do not see any reason why you should not get this tattoo.

However, at the same time as meaning love, it could also mean selfish. The orient koi is a symbol that means good luck.

The Buddhist believe humans are like this fish. How so? They believe that we are swimming in an ocean (just like the fish) suffering from what life throws at us. No matter how much we suffer, we still keep swimming forward with our life. Now that we look at it, we are a lot like this fish.

Koi tattoos are very mysterious and will look good anywhere on your body. You can get them on your arm, leg, back or anywhere else you please.
