I have been looking for a Koi fish to get tattooed over my shoulder and down my arm a bit. I want to get one that is predominately black with some reds mixed in, and want it to be swimming downstream. I am at the end of a divorce and this particular symbol represents overcoming adversity. I am of Japanese dissent and this holds very strong meaning to me in ending this chapter of my life.
I have looked and looked but haven't been able to find anything I like. My next move is to ask the artist at the shop but I thought I'd check here first.
Thanks!
