The Koi is strong enough to swim against the current up
stream this can mean two things:

The Koi fish is pure will - The act of swimming upstream
shows the will of the koi and that the current is no
challenge for the resistance that it feels as it swims
upstream. Will could also be interpreted as desire , a great
master once said that a strong wish was the most powerful
force in the universe. So the Koi tattoo can be a symbol of
our strength and will in the world and spirit to move
forward no matter what.

Strength in time of adversity - Koi fish also symbolizes the
ability to go forward no matter what the obstacle is. The
desire to swim on even if we are being swept along
backwards.

Japanese Koi fish tattoos - Koi fish, or "brocaded carp"),
are ornamental common carp. The Koi fish in Japanese
tattooing plays a vital role in both Chinese and Japanese
legends, and stories. In many of the Japanese and Chinese
legends, Koi are transformed through their efforts over
time. If a Koi Fish climbs a Dragon Gate on the Yellow River
it would be transformed into a dragon. it is said to mean
good fortune or luck. An example of koi means "love,
affection" and koi are therefore symbols of love and
friendship in Japan: a good example is the short story
Koi-san by Mukoda Kuniko.
