Koi Fish Tattoo Designs

Koi fish tattoo designs are in high demand. Although the most popular koi fish tattoos are of Japanese koi, the origin of the koi fish traces back to ancient China. Legend has it that when koi fish successfully climbed the fierce waterfalls on the Yellow River at a point called Dragon's Gate they were magically transformed into a dragon. Based on this legend, the koi fish tattoo has become a symbol of ambition, perseverance and advancement. Koi fish tattoos symbolize courage, high aspirations and rising above all odds.
