Some of the main colors of the koi fish are: (Black Koi, Blue Koi, Yellow Koi , Red Koi) and Converted as: (Koi ying-yang fish, Koi lotus flower, Dragon koi) Each of these has a meaning.
As we have said before, koi fish tattoos are associated with overcoming different problems that we face throughout our lives, as well as a personality of self-realization.
What does the Koi fish mean by its color?
Black Koi Fish:
Black. The black koi fish represent the courage to overcome great challenges, as did the fish that climbed the waterfalls of the Yellow River.
In the first case, we find the color black. A tonality that, although it does not reflect the real beauty of these fish, is more than enough to capture it on the skin with great realism. The color black is used to symbolize the ability to face different adversities along the way. Using the simile of the history of the koi fish, we would talk about its strength to overcome and ascend through the waterfall. There are goals in life with a complicated goal, but not impossible.
Blue Koi Fish:
Koi Blue Fish: On the other hand, we have the koi fish with a main hue in blue. The blue tones are used to symbolize reproduction or evoke the family child. We can also point to it as a synonym of peace and relaxation. In this way, a blue koi fish tattoo is ideal to refer to a child or our family.
Yellow koi fish
The tattoos of yellow koi fish represent joy and self confidence.
The color yellow is also a color, which brings happiness, fertility and intuition.
Tattoos often use a combination of yellow and orange to represent a golden-colored koi. These gold-colored fish symbolize fortune and wealth. The Japanese term for them is yamabuki.
Red koi fish:
The red koi represents the obstacles that must be overcome to achieve love. This color is one of the preferred by Chinese and Japanese cultures so it also has a very traditional side.
Red is used to symbolize the love or strength that human beings can have to go through all kinds of adversities in life. In this case, in the koi it would be used to emphasize that it can survive in waters of adverse or too agitated currents.
What does the koi fish become symbols mean?
Koi ying-yang:
Koi fish are often paired with the symbol of yin-yang. It is said that the black and white sides look like a female and a male swimming together, representing the harmony of two opposing energies that come together as one, creating a perfect balance. In Taoism, yin and yang symbolize the perfect balance and harmony between them. The circular movement of the fish represents the belief that all things in life are connected.
The koi fish in which the ying-yang is represented represent the duality with which all human beings coexist, the two opposite sides of their character necessary to achieve balance.
Lotus Flower:
The lotus is a beautiful flower that grows in muddy ponds. Joining the lotus flower and the koi fish represents more pain, struggle and growth. Just as the koi started as a small fish and became a strong dragon, the lotus begins in a dirty pond, but still becomes beautiful.
Dragon:
Since the legend says that the koi became a dragon at the end of its long and difficult journey, the two together can represent a transformation. The koi dragon symbolizes the difficulties of overcoming, alluding to the climbing of the koi fish to the Dragon Gate. The dragon koi shows strength and will, the will to go against all odds to reach your destiny. A dragon is also a representation of power and ferocity, along with mystery. It represents a rebirth, a new beginning.
Know the legend of the Japanese Koi Fish.
There is an ancient Japanese legend that the koi fish tried to climb the waterfall of the yellow river, and in their attempts at this difficult task there were some species of demons that lived around the river that made fun of them - after a long work and many difficulties there was a koi fish that managed to climb to the end, managed to reach the chasm of the waterfall of the yellow river, and when the god of the river realized that this fish had arrived, he recognized that the koi carps had courage, that they had strength and they were honorable fish, and the god turned that koi fish into a yellow and gold dragon ..
The dragon that is said to live in the river, Most of the meaning and symbolism behind the fish comes from this ancient legend.
Since that legend originated, it is told in the East that koi carp represents that courage, that strength, that strength that is needed to go through a difficulty without giving up no matter how big it is.
These waterfalls are now known as the dragon gates
This is a tattoo without doubt very beautiful and all at some time in our lives we had some difficulty, some desire, some longing in the love or personal sense, and because of this many people identify with this tattoo
