why japanese love a Koi(fish)??

[caution337]

im gonna have koi on my leg this month

[xxLODER25xx]

it is true coz ive got a koi on my back.

[MrGrog88]

whats the facination with koi fish?

[speedysmith88]

there is actually some validaty to the belief that koi turn into dragons. in china the koi live towards the mouth of the yellow river, and sturgon live in the upper parts of the river above dragon falls. if you have ever seen a sturgon you can understand them being mistaken for dragons hince the myth. :P

[seezang]

no its chinese not japanese. chinese belive any koi that succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River) would be transformed into a dragon. and japanese belive if a koi climb waterfalls bravely, and, if caught, it lies upon the cutting board awaiting the knife without a quiver, not unlike a samurai (warrior) facing a sword.

[SiliconBlake]

Beautiful tattoos. I especially love that wild-looking carp at 2:20

He looks like he has the strength to almost fly.

[sophisrock8]

[StevoElsupremo]

filthy garbage fish

[zaftpilot]

the story actually derived from ancient China. Koi fish are said to be strong and swims vigoriously against water currents. In the Yellow, when a koi fish swims against the current and makes it to the top which is the dragons gate it turns into a dragon

[makeupbygloria]

thats a lovel story i would love to know more

[26alexther]

I love the Koi fish and I think I will get one. Do you think it will be good for a girl?

[calino716]

yeh me personally i think any girl who gets a tattoo its sexy...especially a koi fish!

[26alexther]

I will get one I all ready have the design and all that.

[ileese]

I'm a girl, and i've already planned and made an appointment to get one July 26th!

I'm still working on the sketch, the artist will be colaborating with me..

I want the sketch to be PERFECT.

something that is original and will be sweeeeett.

good luck with yours!

[26alexther]

Where do u want yours?

I all ready got mine design the way I like it also incorporated with a calla lilly flower but I'm still undecided where I want it.

[ileese]

26alexther:

Um.

I really like the idea of having it on my left shoulder blade area.. but that could pose as a problem since summer's here..

and I might have a chance of exposing myself to my parents..lol.

At the same time, I don't want the tattoo in a place that its so secret.. and i can't show it off to be proud you know what i mean?

Like hiding it in the crotch area...

its like something as beautiful as a Koi does not deserve to be hidden.

I guess I'll decide soon enough.

What about you?

[26alexther]

I was thinkin on my thigh since the one I'm getting its pretty big and like u I would like to show it off.

[6marilyn6mans0n6]

[DCskatingchick]

gettin a tat of 1 :) isn't it also true that it only means good-luck if its swimming upstream? ex. like if the tat of the fish is swimming up the arm

[Paitro202]

this is it right, if the fish swims up the yellow sea, and jumps some golden waterfall(i think thats the name of it)it turns into a dragon

[redhotcustoms]

paitro, from what i have read online, if a koi swims up the yellow river and climbs a waterfall at dragons gate it turns into a dragon.

[Johnf85]

[dubberdubs]
