This really isn't a second tattoo, it's really a continuation of the first. Although the subject is different, kio, or Japanese Karp, the style is the same and the symbolism connects both pieces.
The koi fish in Japanese folklore represents the overcoming of obstacles, because the koi fish travels up the yellow river and when it comes to the end of the river it transforms into the dragon; thus overcoming the adversity represented by the strong river to fufill its own destiny.
