The Koi fish is symbolic in the Buddhist Religion, representing courage.

On Childrens Day Koi flags are raised, Black Koi the father, Orange/Red mother, Blue/white for a boy, and red/pink for a girl.A Koi tato is supposed to represent different things it just depends on the color and the amount of them and the direction they are swimming in the stream. 5 golden Koi is supposed to represent eternal wealth and well being. Each color represents a specific meaning. Some people believe that the color of a Koi tattoo on your body should be in harmony with you and your surroundings.

Answer 2

well most lotus flowers are white. What artists will do is make the floewr a really light purple or light blue (depending on the design) and then outline it with white so it gives it the illusion that it is a white flower. White is a hard color when it comes to tattooing because it does not hold to skin well. but some artists will drill it into you and it will hold pretty well. but when doing a lotus, use white as the outline and a light purple for the inside. it will look like a white flower :] good luck

The colour of a koi tattoo may have personal meaning to the person getting it, or a generalised colour meaning could be used, as in red for passion or love, blue for calm etc. But there is no standardised meaning to the colour of a koi fish tattoo.
