The image of a fish on a tattoo almost always carries a positive context. This spectacular body decoration attracts good luck, health and love.

The meaning of the fish tattoo

The symbolism of the picture directly depends on what is depicted on it:

• two fish forming a circle - the “ Yin-Yang ” symbol and a love talisman;
• shark – punching power, authoritarianism, determination;
• carp is a symbol of wealth, health and power;
• dolphin is a symbol of kindness and love, a talisman of good luck.

The image of a fish contains a sacred meaning, so it is no coincidence that it was considered a symbol of Christianity. In Buddhism, it means spiritual enlightenment and liberation from temptation.

Often the tattoo depicts a symbol representing the Zodiac Sign Pisces. It serves as both a “calling card” and an amulet for its owner.

The image of fish is organically conveyed in any tattoo style. Black and white realism, vipshading, watercolor, traditional and Polynesian are popular.

What areas of the body are fish tattoos placed on?

Miniature images are more often found on the wrists, ankles, forearms, or the area between the shoulder blades. Large fish tattoos are placed on the ribs and shoulders.

Japanese style koi designs look best on the "sleeves" or all over the back.
