While
spending a day on Fourth Avenue, the place where I spent a good majority of my
childhood, I ran into a man with this koi fish tattoo. This caught my eye
mostly because I have been yearning for a tattoo myself. I was curious as to
what the tattoo meant to him so I stopped and asked. He told me that in the
Japanese culture, a koi fish stands as a symbol of determination and courage.
It was said that if a koi fish could get to the top of the waters, against the
current, the fish would then turn into a dragon.
