So, if you had tattoos, chances were, you were, or had been, a bad guy. These “marked” criminals covered the incriminating tattoos with beautiful “sleeves” of colorful art, to hide their crimes. Hundreds of years ago, the Japanese marked their criminals with tattoos on their forearms that described the crimes they had committed.

On many occasions this tattoo is associated with the lotus flower, another of the great Japanese symbols, which reinforces the message of determination and effort, as this flower is capable of being reborn from mud. It is also associated with good fortune and the image of victory. In Japanese culture, if you choose a tattoo with this animal, you are symbolizing perseverance, wisdom and strength against adversities of the dragon fish. From then onwards, any Koi fish that reached the waterfall were transformed into a dragon. The Gods wanted to reward the small fish’s achievement, turning him into a heavenly dragon. Many of the fish gave up, but some kept trying to jump for a hundred years, until one of the persistent carps managed to jump high enough to get to the top of the last waterfall, which was called “the Dragon’s Door”. The demons nearby got up to some tricks and decided to have fun making the waterfall even higher. Long ago, Koi fish used to go against the current, upstream, until reaching a waterfall that was very difficult to jump up. Probably due to their looks and their traditions, a Legend was created that connected this beautiful animal with dragons. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Emperor Hirohito introduced them in the pond at the Imperial Palace, which automatically popularized their breeding within the Japanese population. They are very colorful fish, that live for a long time (more than thirty years) and they have a relaxed personality (to the point that it is believed that they are capable of recognizing their owners). The Koi fish, which in Japanese is known as Nishikigoi (colored carp) is an original type of Koi originating in China. We’re sure you have seen this type of tattoos before, but do you know its meaning? Today we would like to tell you one of those legends, the Koi fish. An ancient culture, tradition, filled with legends, and in which tattoos play a very important role in its history for millenia. If we think about symbology, straight away Japanese culture comes to mind. Our tattoos not only have to be beautiful, but should also convey sensations, messages that transcend the image and, ultimately, transmit those messages. ![]()
