Should a koi fish tattoo go on your calf or forearm?

Here are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers: * I have a friend that has one that stretches all the way down his left side, so you can get one anywhere. * According to Japanese legend if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement. More generally, the Japanese associate koi (also known as carp) with perserverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals. Others say it means good fortune or luck. * The Koi Fish is symbolic in the Buddhist religion, representing courage. Humans 'swim' through the 'ocean of suffering' without fear, just like a fish swims through water. So it really does not matter as long as that's where you want it, although I tend to see a lot of them on the forearm, but maybe that's because most people wear pants.
