the koi fish turns into a dragon, according to Japanese folklore.
Koi Dragon TattooThe 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.The Legend of the Rainbow River
Japanese legend has it that every year thousands of Koi, a courageous, strong, and dedicated fish, make a perilous and difficult journey up the Rainbow (or Dragon) river.
Out of perhaps a million Koi, only once in many years, one Koi is dedicated and strong enough to swim all the way to the head of the river, known as "The Dragon Gate" (or "The Rainbow Gate") and leap from the water.
He is transformed into a dragon. This tattoo tells the story of this little Koi's journey. Up the inside of the collector's calf swims the determined little fish. Against all odds he reaches the head of the River and leaps from the water. Above the metaphorical Dragon's Gate of the collector's knee, the koi-fish begins his transformation mid leap, becoming a Koi-dragon, before continuing down the outside of the collector's calf as a full fledged dragon.

Is it good if the husband has a dragon tattoo and the wife has a Phoenix tattoo?
The dragon and the phoenix as a pair originated in ancient China. The dragon symbolized the Emperor, and the phoenix symbolized the Empress. Over time, they have become known as symbols of the masculine (the dragon) and the feminine (the phoenix). I would say it would be very appropriate for a husband and wife to get tattoos of each animal, respectively, because of the symbolism of them. Also, when done by a masterful tattoo artist, dragons and phoenixes have a very strong and beautiful aesthetic. Actually, this is a tattoo concept that I thought of when I spent some time in China, but it can't be manifested yet, because I lack a husband...
