Fish tattoos come in a number of different styles representing various species of fish, as well as more abstract symbols, many of which have deep historical, religious, and cultural significance. Modern society also recognises the profound symbolism of the fish as a free animal roaming the aquatic realm, an important food source, as well as a symbol of our evolutionary history. Coastal fish crawled up on to the land hundreds of millions of years ago, giving rise to the first land vertebrates, and eventually leading to the evolution of our own species.
Fish are important symbols in many religions and still hold great significance with followers of those religions today. The Christian fish, or ichthus, is a symbol held in great reverence by followers of Christianity. During biblical times, Christians used to draw the symbol on the ground using their feet. This was a secret sign to other Christians that they were also followers of the religion. Large numbers of Christian tattoo enthusiasts choose to ink the Ichthus fish in order to display of their faith. Other religions and cultural groups that place a great significance on fish iconography include Hinduism (in the story of Vishnu and King Manu), Greek mythology (myths involving Aphrodite), Japanese culture, Chinese culture, and Polynesian tribal societies.

Koi fish tattoo designs originate from Japanese and Chinese culture, where koi fish are highly regarded as symbols of status. Koi tattoos come in a range of syles and colours, and are symbols of luck and courage in overcoming obstacles. Betta fish (Siamese fighting fish) are another popular option for female tattoo enthusiasts. Betta fish are very striking with long flowing fins coloured red, blue and purple. Another popular fresh water fish is the discus fish. These fish are a rounded disc shape, and also tend to be extremely colourful. The many colourful fish found on coral reefs also make for very colourful fish tattoos for girls.
Sharks are another popular type of fish tattoo. Popular species of shark for tattoo designs include great white sharks, bull sharks, tiger sharks, and hammerhead sharks. Shark tattoos don’t offer so much scope for the use of colour however.
