i have neither, but some people would want it to serve as a memory?

Why would you want a circle scar which looks horrible, what does that "symbolise" (except stupidity

)

On another note, you got a pic of what it looks like now?

Probably surprising to many westerners is the large amount of myth surrounding these beautiful fish. It is known outside Japan as the brightly colored white, golden, orange and even calico colored fish which fascinate private collectors but which can also be found in public ponds. However, the Japanese carp or koi is one of the more popular and beautiful of Japanese tattoo symbols -- a beauty which belies its symbolic meaning. Although Chinese in origin, the carp in Japan is celebrated for its manly qualities. It is said to climb waterfalls bravely, and, if caught, it lies upon the cutting board awaiting the knife without a quiver -- not unlike a samurai (warrior) facing a sword. This theme dates back to ancient China, where a legend tells of how any koi that succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River) would be transformed into a dragon. Thus it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement. Eventually, the stoic fish came to be associated with so many masculine and positive qualities that it was appropriated for the annual Boys' Day Festival in Japan when colorful, streaming koi flags are traditionally displayed for each son in the family. In tattoo imagery, especially in combination with flowing water, it symbolizes much the same -- courage, the ability to attain high goals, and overcoming life's difficulties.

I like the artwork/skills behind the oriental tattoos but i just dont like them because of all the colours, kind of like a walking comic book!

dont get many swimming upwards. most done upwards are koifish dragons.

most common one appart from the single swiming down is the two swimming in a circle.

just another form of art/expression whatever you want to call it, its quite different at least i think they look pretty good when there finished wouldnt have one my self dont like the idea of the pain or stigmata atached to it, but i dont think they look bad.

TBF id rather have one of them than the typical chinease word or your own name tattoo on me.
