In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang is a concept of dualism in ancient Chinese philosophy, describing how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.
The yin yang tattoos expresses the belief that duality forms a whole—that opposing elements co-exist and even compliment each other.
Real-life examples of Yin Yang concept are female and male, dark and light, young and old, moon and sun, good and bad. It is just like shadows can not exist without light. The yin (black half) stands for femininity, softness, and passiveness. The yang (white half) stands for masculinity, strength, and creativity. 
The yin yang is a circle divided by undulating lines. This design expresses the concept of separate halves blending into one, as each half rotates continuously towards each other to form a whole. One half is dark with a light circle whereas other half is light with dark circle inside.

Two koi fish carved in circular manner with their mouths facing each other's tail is one of the most popular designs.
