Bear
Aquarius Water BearerTwo koi circling head to tail form a design closely related to the yin yang symbol, representing balance, duality and harmony between opposing forces. Koi themselves are associated in Japanese culture with perseverance and good fortune, tied to the legend of the carp swimming upstream to become a dragon. Read as "Pisces", the paired fish also echo the zodiac glyph, so the same image can carry either an astrological meaning or a purely symbolic one depending on the wearer's intent.
Where it sits
This is a strongly circular composition, so it suits body areas that are naturally round or can frame a disc shape well: the upper arm, the shoulder cap, the thigh, or the center of the back. Shrinking it down for a wrist or inner forearm would blur the individual scale stippling and the concentric water-ring background, losing the texture that makes the piece work.
