Hello
... don't give a damn about fish or fishkeeping and know nothing about fish?

i just find it ironic that these people just get something thats a trendy tattoo to have without caring less about fishkeeping
 
Has nothing to do with fish keeping...



Koi Tattoos:
According to Japanese legend, if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River, it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.
More generally, the Japanese associate koi (also known as carp) with perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals.

WTF!!! are you talkin about. Thats a direct quote. Just because someone gets a fish tatto doesnt mean it has to do with keeping fish. If you want to know the meanings of tattoos go to a tat forum
 
To each his own. One can wear a fish tat and not be a fish keeper. Who wrote the rule that says, "In order to wear a fish tat, you must be a fish keeper?" I don't get this thread.
