A Chinese dragon tattoo is both attractive and symbolic
We've seen the popularity of mixing popular tattoo designs with
certain styles of tattooing with great results. Tribal lower back
tattoos, for instance, have gained popularity, as have Celtic
animals and crosses. A Chinese dragon tattoo is another example of mixing popular
Asian-influenced tattooing styles with a common symbol, the dragon.
Chinese dragon tattoos are actually quite symbolic, which makes
for an interesting tattoo. Western culture sees dragons as something
evil, something to be avoided. Ancient Western literature is full of
dragon-slayers. But in Chinese culture, dragons offer happiness and
protection from evil. They are a sacred symbol, used in festive
events like parades.
The idea of tattoos as protection isn't new, which is not
surprising as so many popular ways of getting tattooed have roots in
ancient culture. Borneo is one place where tattoos were used to ward
off evil and protect the wearer. Why not use tattooing as a way to
broaden your mind and learn more about other cultures?
You can have a dragon tattoo done in black and white, which is
growing more common, or in bold, vivid colors. Reds, blues, and
greens are also good choices. The tattoo is perfect for a delicate
lower back tattoo or a bolder arm tattoo. The designs can be
structured around how masculine or feminine you'd like it to be.
Whether you love the idea of having a symbolic tattoo or you just
want something that looks good, a tattoo of a Chinese dragon is a
great choice.
