Fish tattoos often feature the many myths and spiritual beliefs that this creature stars in. The Greek myth of Aphrodite throwing herself into the ocean, where she transformed was into a fish; Vishnu taking the form of a fish and guiding king Manu’s boat to safety are two great examples. One interesting idea follows the Native American belief that the fish is able to delve into the depths of the human psyche. For this idea, you could use a simple anatomical figure of the head and brain, and depict either a small or long bodied fish pressing itself into the deepest reaches of the mind.
Although fish tattoos are commonly used for their significant meaning, there is certainly something to be said for their varied, colorful, and graceful appearance all unto itself.
