Koi Tattoos on Asian Women

To many, the color of a koi fish determines its significance. Wild koi fish come in a variety of colors from a muddy gray to the bold orange with which they are commonly associated. The popular orange variety does not occur as often in nature because it is the product of a breeding plan implemented by fish farmers to produce a more marketable koi. In Japan, the word koi refers primarily to the wild variety. As a result, many of the country's symbolic meanings for the fish refer to the wild variety instead of the fish species as a whole. One of the primary reasons the fish is symbolic in Japanese culture is because it is known for swimming upstream no matter what the conditions are. These fish are even said to swim up waterfalls. The knowledge of the koi is often illustrated in meanings of various koi tattoos.
