Koi Fish
Symolism and Meaning
Koi fish are associated with positive imagery. Because
of the
Dragon Legend, they are known as symbols of strength and perseverance, as seen in
their determinative struggle upstream. And because of the lone koi that
made it to the top of the waterfall, they are also known as symbols of a
destiny fulfilled. Resulting from its bravery in swimming upstream, the
koi is oftentimes associated with Samurai Warriors in Japan. The
integrity and high sense of character koi are known for makes them a
popular tattoo choice both in Asia as well as America.
