Koi Tattoo

Koi Tattoo
The Koi fish has always been seen as a symbol of perseverance and strength, and of independence. Water lilies have been said to be symbolic of rebirth. It is said that if a Koi fish pass a place called Dragon Gate on the Yellow river, it is reborn as a dragon, which is why this combination of designs is very precise. There are several bright colors used in this koi tattoo including green, yellow, orange, blue, and pink. The whole body of the coy is green, and every scale is intricate and detailed. The water is a light blue that splashes over the back of the koi fish, and seems to sparkle as it streams around the koi. The koi’s tail flows next to a group of pink lilies that have orange centers that glow brightly against the pink petals of the lily. There are orange tips on the fins of the koi, and a piece of grass falls lip over the face of the koi. This tattoo is intricately drawn and colored, and shaded perfectly. The symbolism behind this tattoo is has meaning and the colors that accompany this tattoo compliment it perfectly. This is an amazing tattoo and one that deserves to be inked upon your skin.
