Dragon Tattoo

Dragon Tattoo
This is an incredible example of a Japanese dragon tattoo. It’s powerful blue color with highlights of yellow and orange make for a very striking design indeed. But, this is only one example of what fantastic design possibilities you have with a dragon tattoo. There are a wide variety of different tattoo possibilities with the dragon. There are the issues of location, size and design to consider. The style and look of the dragon can often determine what the person might wish to represent. For example an evil looking dragon that is bearing his large teeth and surrounded by flames and wrapping around a large sword would obviously represent power, strength and the warrior spirit. Typically Japanese dragons are not seen as the cunning and evil creature that they are represented as in Western culture. Instead in most Asian cultures Dragons do not breathe fire typically and are seen as more benevolent creatures. They are seen as very powerful and are definitely a symbol of strength and power. What meaning you ascribe to your Japanese Dragon tattoo is really up to you as stated above there are no hard and fast roles. However, with in Japanese and most Asian cultures dragons are viewed as very beneficial and a great source of power and luck.
Dragon Tattoo
This type of tattoo always makes me think of wizards and demons, and maybe just a little bit of Harry Potter. I am a fanatic when it comes to a dragon tattoo, I love them completely, every last one of them. I think dragons are the real beauty and the beast, just watch some of the movies that are out now days about dragons, they were not all bad. A lot of dragons are good in cultures, the movies have portrayed them as monsters and not as protectors of mankind. Remember there is a difference between dragons and serpents, a very big difference.
I have this one dragon tattoo on my leg that really kicks, it has tons of red and orange colors blended into it, to make a fantastic dragon tattoo. I first started falling in love with dragons when I was just a small kid, going to the movies seeing all the Godzilla and Mothra movies. You can’t help falling head over heels for some of the best tattoos on the planet. I have one small dragon tattoo on the top of my right foot, it is a red dragon flapping it’s wings while it blows fire from it’s nostrils all over the place.
