Koi Fish Tattoos

We have already seen that the koi fish tattoos are tattoos very symbolic and powerful, especially for those who belong to the Japanese culture. The animal is full of symbolism and choose how you will fish armadillos is very important. The color should be the right one for your skin and your personality, because every koi has a particular color to represent something.

These beautiful fish say much, and are much more than mere decoration. That's why, if you feel like one of these fish tattooed then show you how to choose the best.

The first thing to consider is the color of your skin, but is not very deep, is important. If your skin is dark, cold tone a fish not highlight both. For dark skin and olives should choose a bright color such as yellow, white or orange. People with yellow skin tone should have a tattoo yellow, gold or red. Those with very pink skin should choose a fish are blue, white, red or black. It is important to choose a single color.

Then you have to analyze you to yourself: What do you know about your personality? What words define you think? Should always ask a friend or someone you trust to see how you define, and there find what they want to represent in your tattoo.

Now you must choose the color. And each color has a special meaning:

RED - Physical
Positive: physical courage, strength, warmth, energy, survival instinct, stimulation, masculinity.
Negative: Aggressiveness, visual impact, challenging.
Its effect is physical, masculine and very basic. Strong, stimulating, lively and very friendly, but also is seen as demanding and aggressive.

BLUE - Intellectual
Positive: Intelligence, communication, trust, efficiency, serenity, duty, logic, freshness, reflection, calm.
Negative: Coldness, lack of emotion, unfriendly.
Blue is the color of the mind, and affects mental (as opposed to the red). The strong blue light stimulates thinking, while the soft blue calms the mind and concentration. Consequently it is a color that soothes and calms, but can be cold and unemotional.

Yellow - Emotional
Positive: Optimism, confanza, self-esteem, extraversion, emotional strength, friendliness, creativity.

Like dragons, koi fish designs are very popular in the world of tattoos and much of that is due to the meaning behind them to succeed and perseverance. The meaning of the koi fish is part of the most important legends of Asian culture, and has many meanings seek when choosing a tattoo important to the person. The most interesting story indicates that koi fish can transofrmar thanks to the perseverance and their own efforts, explaining that they must climb waterfalls to become dragons.

In Asian cultures, especially Chinese and Japanese koi fish are viewed as symbols of perseverance against adversity, personal strength, knowledge, experience, loyalty and longevity. As intresante detail, these tattoos can represent different things depending on the design done. For example if the koi fish is accompanied by water, the tattoo symbolizes courage and overcoming obstacles. Other stories have the koi fish as a symbol of masculinity and strength, llegandolo to compare with the Samurai. This is because no koi fish tremble at the knife, similar to the Japanese warriors.

Finally, some say that much of the popularity of koi fish is because Genghis Khan, who, during the twelfth century, used the fish as a food source for their troops. If you are interested, here I leave a small gallery of tattoos of koi fish.
