Name: Doony
Tattoo Symbol: Pyung ahn
Tattoo Artist: Delhi
Comments: The first character shows a scale with the weight balanced evenly on both sides. Because it is perfectly balanced it can be considered to be calm and peaceful.
The second character needs to be looked at in two parts. The top looks like a roof which provides shelter and security. Underneath the roof appears to be a parent hugging a child. This represents comfort, security and confidence. It is akin to the phrase “an Englishman’s home is his castle”. So the phrase can also mean “calm and confident”.

How Your Tattoo Tells? (”,)

Name: MeLL
Tattoo Symbol: Koi Fish and the Dragon with Yin Yang
Tattoo Artist: Carlito Racho
Tattoo Studio: Ormoc City, Philippines
Comments: Koi fish is the sacred symbol of the Chinese civilisation. And dragon is also considered to be one of the most important mythological creatures in Chinese literature. Koi fish and dragon hence become the most vital symbols in the mythological sense for the Chinese.
Ironically even the Japanese also have a similar notion of the koi fish and the dragon. These creatures make a good mark even in the Japanese culture. The dragons are called as the descendants of the first Japanese king. And on the other hand the koi fish is considered to be lucky symbol. The koi fish is a design of a fish jumping in the water. And the dragon is a majestic creature which looks like a lizard and has the claws of an Eagle.
Description of Koi Fish Dragon Tattoo: The koi fish swims in the opposite direction of the river to reach the Dragon gate of the Yellow River. The fish turns into a dragon once it reaches the mouth of the Dragon gate. This transformation is considered to be the essence of the Koi fish dragon. This transformation is taken as a tattoo design.
