Let the ocean leave its mark 🌊
There’s something quietly hypnotic about fish tattoos — the way their fluid forms glide across skin, echoing the movement of water and breath. Whether it’s the resilience of koi or the playful spirit of a goldfish, these designs speak to a fascination with the sea and everything it holds. Our 2025 collection of fish tattoos captures all of that wonder in carefully crafted, vegan temporary art. No commitment, just pure expression.
The deeper meaning behind the scales
Fish have always carried weight in symbolism — not in the loud, obvious way, but in whispers. Across cultures, they hint at freedom, transformation and inner strength. A koi battling upstream mirrors perseverance. A goldfish circling in a gentle loop whispers good luck. And the betta fish, bold and delicate all at once,? A reminder to stand beautifully alone when needed.
Wearing a fish tattoo isn’t just about the aesthetic (although yes, it’s stunning). It’s about a silent connection — to water, to change, to calm resistance. Whether you’re drawn to one species or a whole school, there’s likely a meaning just beneath the surface.
Current favourites in our collection
- Koi fish tattoos: These timeless swimmers are rich in colour and movement, often shown with swirling water or blossoms. They make an ideal centrepiece on the back, thigh or upper arm, flowing with your own body’s movement.
- Betta fish: With their feathery fins and intense hues, bettas lend themselves to expressive designs. Try them solo on the shoulder or layered with wave elements for extra texture.
- Tropical fish: These are joy, bottled. A pop of coral orange or electric blue around the ankle or collarbone instantly transforms your look — fun, light-hearted, but still meaningful.
- Goldfish: Graceful and minimal, goldfish tattoos feel effortless. Place them on your inner wrist, ribcage, or behind the ear for that barely-there touch of magic.
Where the tide takes them
Placement matters — not just for how a tattoo looks, but how it lives with you. Smaller fish like the goldfish or minimalist outlines feel delicate on the wrist, forearm or ankle. Want something with cinematic impact? The back or thigh gives koi designs space to swim. And shoulder placements? Perfect for the elegance of a single betta or a pair of intertwined goldfish in motion.
Don’t be afraid to pair sea creatures with land dwellers: a lion, an eagle, even a wolf tattoo can sit beautifully beside a fish design, balancing strength with softness across your skin.
An ocean to pair with
Blending fish with other motifs can tell a fuller story — your story. Consider layering your chosen fish design with a lion tattoo for courage, or a gentle paw tattoo to honour a furry companion that shares your serenity. Or echo the rhythm of water with sweeping wave tattoos, creating movement across arm or spine.
Choose what aligns with your mood, memory, or just your outfit. These tattoos are made to shift with you.
Crafted for freedom
Each of our temporary fish tattoos is printed using vegan, skin-friendly inks — kind to the planet and safe for every skin type. They’re waterproof, sweat-resistant and EU-certified, making them perfect for sunlit holidays, dreamy beach walks or nights out with a quiet edge.
- Designed to last: They stay vibrant for up to two weeks, surviving sea dips and summer showers.
- Simple to apply: No mess, no fuss. Just press, dampen, peel.
- Gentle on skin: Non-toxic and breathable, so they feel like nothing — until someone stops to ask about it.
Slip into something weightless
Our fish tattoos aren’t just accessories — they’re a feeling. Fleeting, delicate, deeply personal. Whether you’re a water sign, a dreamer, or someone who just fancies a change without the needle, these designs let you explore identity with style and soul.
So go on. Find the fish that fits you.
