Koi fish tattoos are beautiful and wildly popular right now. For the Japanese koi fish represent strength and power because they are often able to lift their entire body up and jump out of the water. Earliest records of Koi have been found in China and have been widely spread in Japan. They most likely originated from Eastern Asia, Aral, Black and Caspian Seas.If you have been to Japan you will notice they are a common feature in most traditional Japanese gardens. Koi are a type of carp and have been cultivated and bred in Japan for possibly thousands of years. A prize example can be valued in the $100,000 range. Koi fish are specially bred in Japan for their color. The word "koi" comes from Japanese.
