The dragon is a design that was very popular in the 2000s, much like the tribal tattoo or the tattoo with a Chinese symbol. Very trendy in the world of fashion, it has also made a certain place in the world of beauty, and more precisely of tattooing. Many people (women, but also men) fell in love with the dragon tattoo at the time. Today, - and like many other trends of the 2000s for that matter - the dragon is making a comeback in tattooing for women.
Dragon symbol tattoo: what does it mean?
Each tattoo has its meaning depending on its symbol. The symbol of
the dragon has several symbolics. Tattoos with dragons are indeed
synonymous with power, strength, wisdom, but also luck and art.
Also important to know: for the Chinese, the dragon is the most revered creature in Chinese mythology. The Japanese also believe that their first emperor was a descendant of the dragons, which means that he is equally respected by the Japanese community.
On which area of the body should a dragon tattoo be drawn?
The dragon is generally a tattoo that one chooses to have drawn in an
imposing fashion. The dragon tattoo shows! Engraved in length, the
dragon tattoo is perfect for dressing the back, for example, along our spine,
from the bottom to the top. However, some people prefer the design of a
shorter dragon which is located only at the level of the upper back, between
the two shoulder blades.
In women, we often find the dragon tattoo on the outside of the
thigh. Usually starting in the middle of the area and ending in the hips,
the dragon tattoo has a style that is both sexy and sultry.
Another popular area for tattoos with dragons: the back of the
neck! This tattoo motif is indeed also often worn at the nape of the neck,
and more precisely behind the ear.
Of course, there are no rules in tattooing. It is important to choose a dragon model as well as a tattoo area that you like. So, we've slipped lots of model photos into our slideshow to inspire you. You will then find many ideas if you want to have a tattoo area other than those mentioned above (namely: the back, the thigh, the neck), like the forearm, the upper arm, the chest, stomach or even the hips.
Black or red ... what color for a dragon tattoo?
While most tattoos today are done in black ink, the dragon tattoo is more drawn in red ink. Less classic, more original and above all very trendy, red ink brings a real touch of modernity and freshness to the dragon tattoo. It is in any case on this color that we advise you to bet for a nice result with a wow effect!
