Tattoo Story - Monique: Koi Tattoo
If you're new here, you should subscribe to our RSS feed.


These are two seprate tats done by two different artists in different shops but they came together nicely.
I have five tattoos but I love my arm work because it was done after both my grandparents passes away. They would have killed me for having them but always taught me to be free and not care what others think of me and to flow like the water. I want to continue working on my arm and include my mom and lil bros and sis in it too but my g-rents are what inspired the pieces I have now.
The Koi, even though it brings luck, can be a fighter just like me! The water lily is my home, something beautiful but you can still seek haven in, just like my grandparents!

Hay Monique,
Do like your story and also the meaning of the Koi, i myself am going to put one on my leg. I see this the tattoo as a spirtual meaning… like a freedom fighter.. and a go getter..! What would you think if we have a blog which is a specially dedicated to all tattoo’s and to the koi?
