What does a tattoo of a coi fish mean?
A coi fish is a symbol of masculinity and power. In Asian cultures coi fish were respected for their ability to swim up waterfalls. Colors have varying meanings as well. The Japanese covet all white coi with a red dot on the head, giving the coi the look of the rising sun on the Japanese flag. A coi tattoo displays strength and respect, and overall sweetness. Kowabanga!!
How can you cover your tattoo when you swim?
If you have a new tattoo it isn't recommended to have your tattoo in water for an extended amount of time. If you are going in the water you could use medical tape, saran wrap, and whatever ointment your tattooist recommends for the healing process. I, personally, would put ointment on the tattoo, cover it with the saran wrap and then use the medical tape to hold it on. Doesn't sound very attractive, but it will allow you to spend time in the water and not affect the tattoo.

Should be, depending on how big it is, the detail and colors used. As soon as it's done itching and peeling, it should be all healed. My tattoos are all fairly small, about six inches, and they healed in two weeks or less.
