Answer 2

The koi tattoo with flowers or maple leaves have different meaning. The flowers (usually cherry blossoms) represent the journey and challenges of life.

If the koi tattoo has maple leaves it has a different meaning. It is the story of how the koi fish travels its life upstream (in Japan its during the fall, hence maple leaves) and makes it to the rainbow gate and leaps from the water and upon doing so is rewarded by being turned into a dragon.

Answer 3

you can combine any of those symbols in the same area it all depends on whether you want them to be interpreted in a traditional or conventional manner. the hanya mask, if you have done any research , is a woman whose unrequited love and jealousy of a priest turned herself into a monster. the koi means many things depending on placement, color, direction, and surroundings. both of those are of an Asian background which i am familiar with. as for the phoenix, i believe it to be a symbol of greek mythology. me personally, i would not combine them in the same tattoo but i have traditional Japanese tattoos that have traditional meanings. with most getting tattoos for a certain look nowadays it is totally up to the individual what is combined with what in your own tattoo.

Answer 4

Go with the one that has the most meaning to you, a tattoo is very personal, and only you need to know why you got it. :)
