Red Koi

Done for Illustration Friday. I love tattoo art - especially the koi. Tattoo lore suggests that the koi is good luck, and especially in combination with flowing water symbolizes courage, the ability to attain high goals, and overcoming life's difficulties.

If you want to read more there is a great site that has information on all kinds of different tattoo designs: www.tattoosymbol.com

On a black background your tattoo design looks like a neon sign. Nifty.
