23 January marks the start of the lunar new year and millions of people around the world are welcoming in the Year of the Dragon. Ever alert to tales of metamorphosis, I was fascinated to learn about the Japanese legend of a koi who manages to swim upstream, climbing a waterfall and is transformed into a dragon; thus
overcoming adversity to fufill its
own destiny.
As you can see in this
image gallery, the koi dragon is a popular tattoo motif. I wonder if a certain Twelve, who is celebrating 2012 with a tattoo soon, will choose a dragon design. Either way, happy Chinese New Year!

So fun to see my little fish as part of a new year celebration! Thanks for posting it.
Who is getting a tattoo?! I think I know... is it accompanying a significant birthday?
