Koi Japanese Tattoo Designs

Nice Japanese Tattoos Design full colour


I am sure you know how great a Japanese tattoo design can look on the right people. You have probably seen great ones and you have most likely seen some that make you say "what the...?" There are many reasons people settle on generic designs, but most people don't even mean to. That's why you need to know these certain things about a lot of the artwork on the web, as well as how to find the great stuff.
Phoenix Tattoos
Phoenix tattoos are generally a rather considerable scale, encompassing large sections of the body such as the back, chest or wrapping around the leg or upper arm. There is a good reason for this, as most of these pieces are very detailed, and given that it is an expression of a new life beginning, it makes sense that these should make a powerful statement.
Phoenix tattoos are usually very colorful. Most will contain reds, yellows and oranges, as the phoenix is closely associated with fire and the sun. However, for a more unique look, some will use blues, purples, greens and tones of copper and gold. Less frequently, people will use blacks and grays, and only outline the massive wings and body of the phoenix.
Some of the most popular phoenix tattoos are seen with the sizable bird surrounded by fire. It can also be seen partially obscured and rising from its ashes, or bursting through the sun. A unique idea that can be used to symbolize the shift of days is having your phoenix surrounding the globe, its tail shadowing one end, and its face brightening the other.
Many also like to use the Egyptian phoenix. In early incarnations of this figure, the phoenix had the body of a man and the expansive wings of the phoenix. This image has changed over time, it became a wholly bird-like creature eventually, but the story has remained the same, and is seen in art as being immersed in flame so as to begin its transformation.
So whether you are beginning a new life, have survived troubled times and have become stronger for it, or the idea of such a masterful creature appeals to you, phoenix tattoos will always make for a beautiful and strong choice.
Koi Fish Tattoos
Koi fish tattoos can be worn by anyone wanting to represent the struggle humans go through as they swim through the ocean of life’s natural trials and hardships, just as the fish makes its way upstream. The koi fish tattoo looks really cute on women’s feet, wrists, and shoulder blades. While the traditional color of the tattoo is a golden orange, this can be changed to reflect the wearer’s preferences in this matter. Koi fish tattoos are not the type of tattoo one would want on their mid lower back, this is an artistic representation of struggle and success which should be proudly shown, and not a bit of sexual innuendo much like lower back tattoos.
Men can wear the koi fish tattoo as well as women. There are also masculine versions of the koi fish tattoo that depict this mythic creature’s transformation from fish to dragon. Full back spreads can be created tracking the voyage and quest of the koi fish on its way to being transformed into the dragon at the mouth of the Dragon Gate on the Yellow River. Men who are secure n their masculinity can leave off the dragon aspect and simply embrace the symbolism of a single solitary koi fish tattoo.
Celebrities are even catching on to the trend. Charlize Theron and her mother both have matching koi fish tattoos. They got them after Charlize’s mother successfully battled breast cancer to symbolize her successful struggle in the face of adversity.
Two Dolphin Tattoos



Dolphin tattoos are one of the favorite tattoo designs for many reasons. Dolphins have always been popular animals, so they are a perfect choice for a tattoo. Dolphins and sailors, the original tattoo owners, both belong to the ocean. Plus, there are so many cool dolphin tattoo designs. Some of the best body art I have ever seen has featured dolphins.
