Kingyo painting by Marco

Meaning: Prosperity, Wealth, Fortune, Children, Harmony

These tattoos are popular because they can be done small and it is common to see a few floating around in even the largest water tattoo designs.

Goldfish are usually shown in red or black though not always, yellow or orange are also popular. Red signifies luck, while black is used to ward off misfortune. Goldfish tattoos can also symbolize being blessed with children.
