koi tattoos have different meanings to different people but in the asian culture the koi swims upstream and up a waterfall (like trout do) and when they reach the top of the waterfall legend says that they turn into a dragon. so it's kindof a "struggle of life and the reward at the end" thing.
there is a whole category on ratemyink.com just for kois. here's a link to mine

They're lucky in Japan. Many Japanese got them after the birth of the emperor's son.
I'm thinking of getting one myself in the future because Jap tattoos are awesome.
